STRUCT BRCMF_FIL_WOWL_PATTERN_LE(9)
π struct brcmf_fil_wowl_pattern_le β NAME π
okay so bestie, gather round: struct brcmf_fil_wowl_pattern_le is the wowl pattern configuration struct. that's it, that's the whole name section, but trust me it's lowkey iconic π
(also hi, you're reading the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β yes the fancy kernel one, no cap β¨)
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
here's the whole glow-up, character for character, don't touch anything:
struct brcmf_fil_wowl_pattern_le {
u8 cmd[4];
__le32 masksize;
__le32 offset;
__le32 patternoffset;
__le32 patternsize;
__le32 id;
__le32 reasonsize;
__le32 type;
};
it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" fr fr πΈ
β¨ Members β¨
okay now the main characters, one by one, no skipping, we respect all of them π«Ά
cmdβ this one's the vibe check:"add","del"or"clr". that's literally the whole personality. a 4-byteu8array carrying the drama πmasksizeβ size of the mask in #of bytes. (yes the original says "#of bytes", we're keeping it exactly, it's canon π)offsetβ pattern byte offset in packet. like, where in the packet the pattern starts living πpatternoffsetβ offset of start of pattern. Starting from fieldmasksize. so it's not from the top of the struct, bestie, it's from the end of the mask field β read the fine print, iykyk πpatternsizeβ size of the pattern itself in #of bytes π₯idβid. that's it. that's the description. the manpage said what it said and honestly? respect to the minimalism πβ¨reasonsizeβ size of the wakeup reason code πtypeβ type of pattern, and it's enums o'clock: (enum brcmf_wowl_pattern_type) π
π SEE ALSO π
these are all the siblings, the whole friend group, and we are NOT leaving anyone out of the group chat:
Kernel file: ./drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/fwil_types.h β that's where this struct actually lives, go say hi π§
