π rsi_mac80211_set_key π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for rsi_mac80211_set_key β yes that's a mouthful, yes you're gonna slay it, and yes it's all about setting the type of key that gets loaded. like literally its whole job. π
β¨ NAME β¨
rsi_mac80211_set_key β this function sets type of key to be loaded. that's it. that's the vibe. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int rsi_mac80211_set_key (struct ieee80211_hw *hw , enum set_key_cmd cmd
, struct ieee80211_vif *vif , struct ieee80211_sta *sta , struct
ieee80211_key_conf *key );
π§ ARGUMENTS π§
bestie there are five (5) of them and each one is a pointer or an enum, no cap:
hwβ Pointer to theieee80211_hwstructure. the main character of the hardware world tbh πcmdβenum set_key_cmd. it's an enum, it's giving "which key command are we doing" energy β¨vifβ Pointer to theieee80211_vifstructure. virtual interface representation, we love her πstaβ Pointer to theieee80211_stastructure. the station!! π«Άkeyβ Pointer to theieee80211_key_confstructure. the key config itself, the moment we've all been waiting for π
β RETURN β
status: 0 on success, negative error code on failure. so like, zero means we ate, negative means something went off ππ
