STRUCT BRCMF_MKEEP_ALIVE_PKT_LE(9)

💖 struct brcmf_mkeep_alive_pkt_le(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for struct brcmf_mkeep_alive_pkt_le, and it is literally just the little config-data glow-up for a keep-alive frame. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct brcmf_mkeep_alive_pkt_le — configuration data for keep-alive frame. it's giving "struct that keeps the connection breathing." 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct brcmf_mkeep_alive_pkt_le {
    __le16 version;
    __le16 length;
    __le32 period_msec;
    __le16 len_bytes;
    u8 keep_alive_id;
    u8 data[];
 };

look at her. iconic layout. data[] is flexible, she contains multitudes. 🦋

💜 the fields, one by one

• version — version for mkeep_alive. yes ma'am, versioning, we love to see it. ⭐
• length — length of fixed parameters in the structure. only the fixed ones, don't be weird about it. 📏
• period_msec — keep-alive period in milliseconds. this is the heartbeat timing, the tempo, the metronome of your wifi's whole existence. 🎵
• len_bytes — size of the data. (the data. the payload. the ~content~.) 💫
• keep_alive_id — ID (0 - 3). that's a range, bestie — 0 to 3. only four ids, so pick wisely. 🎯
• data — keep-alive frame data. the actual goods. 🔥

💀 reminder bestie: keep_alive_id lives in 0 - 3 and nowhere else. don't come crying to me when id 7 doesn't slay.
