✨ mps_qos_null_get(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a little one but it's important — it's literally the origin story of a mesh powersave frame 🎀

---

💖 NAME 💖

mps_qos_null_get — create a pre-addressed QoS Null frame for mesh powersave 🦋

like, it makes the frame, it already knows where it's going, and it's all for the mesh powersave vibe. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct sk_buff * mps_qos_null_get (struct sta_info *sta );

that's the whole signature, she's dainty 💅 — takes one struct sta_info *, hands you back a struct sk_buff *.

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• sta — the station to get the frame for 👑 like, this is the station you're building the frame for, that's the whole point.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

A newly allocated SKB ✨ — freshly allocated, brand new, still has that new-skb smell. it's giving main character energy, honestly 😭

heads up, bestie: it says newly allocated, so somebody's gotta own that memory. don't just leave her hanging 🙈
