okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct cfg80211_nan_match_params — this is part 1, and we are keeping every single detail, no cap 💅

✨ NAME ✨

struct cfg80211_nan_match_params — NAN match parameters 🦋

🔥 SYNOPSIS 🔥

struct cfg80211_nan_match_params {
    enum nl80211_nan_function_type type;
    u8 inst_id;

  • type — the type of the function that triggered a match, fr fr. If it is NL80211_NAN_FUNC_SUBSCRIBE, it means that we replied to a subscriber. If it is NL80211_NAN_FUNC_PUBLISH, it means that we got a discovery result. If it is NL80211_NAN_FUNC_FOLLOW_UP, we received a follow up. 👑
  • inst_id — the local instance id ✨
  • peer_inst_id — the instance id of the peer’s function 🧚
  • addr — the MAC address of the peer 🌈
  • info_len — the length of the info 🍓
  • info — the Service Specific Info from the peer (if any) 💖
  • cookie — unique identifier of the corresponding function 🎀
