📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 rtw_get_wps_attr_content(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page you actually wanna read

Okay bestie, gather round, because this one is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally all about digging a specific WPS attribute content out of a WPS IE you already have. No cap, it's a scavenger hunt function and it ate. 🔍✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

rtw_get_wps_attr_content — search a specific WPS attribute content from a given WPS IE. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

u8 * rtw_get_wps_attr_content (u8 *wps_ie , uint wps_ielen , u16
target_attr_id , u8 *buf_content , uint *len_content );

Five args, one pointer out, iconic behavior. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • wps_ie — the address of the WPS IE you wanna search. Like, hand her the IE and she'll go looking. 💖
  • wps_ielen — the length limit from wps_ie, so she knows where to stop snooping and doesn't wander off into random memory. Respect the boundary, periodt.
  • target_attr_id — the attribute ID of the WPS attribute you're hunting for. This is the u16 you're basically stalking. 👀
  • buf_content — if this is not NULL and the WPS attribute is found, the WPS attribute content gets copied into the buffer starting from buf_content. So it's your little collecting basket. 🧺
  • len_content — if this is not NULL and the WPS attribute is found, it gets set to the length of the WPS attribute content. Free length info, we love a two-for-one. 💅
Ngl, notice how both buf_content and len_content are conditional on being not NULL and the attribute being found? Yeah. Both conditions. Don't skip them. 😭

🔥 RETURN 🔥

She returns the address of the specific WPS attribute content found — or NULL if it's giving nothing (aka not found). Simple, clean, no drama. ✨

All of them, same energy, same section. Go off. 👑

Okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 — brought to you by ./drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core, dated October 2026, and yes the footer still says rtw_get_wps_attr_content(9) because legends never change their name. 🎀🦋💖
