STRUCT CFG80211_PMSR_RESULT(9)
β¨ struct cfg80211_pmsr_result β peer measurement result β¨
okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally the struct that holds a peer measurement result π get comfy, bestie, we're going in.
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct cfg80211_pmsr_result β peer measurement result. that's it, that's the vibe. it's the lil container that carries back what happened when you measured a peer π«Ά
π SYNOPSIS π
struct cfg80211_pmsr_result {
u64 host_time, ap_tsf;
enum nl80211_peer_measurement_status status;
u8 addr[ETH_ALEN];
u8 final:1, ap_tsf_valid:1;
enum nl80211_peer_measurement_type type;
union {
struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_result ftm;
};
};
look at her. iconic. no notes π
π¦ Members π¦
okay so these are all the fields and what they're giving, one by one, no skipping, i promise π
host_timeβ host time, and heads up: usektime_get_boottimeand adjust it to the time when the measurement was actually made. don't just leave it raw, that's not the move πap_tsfβ the AP's TSF at measurement time. that's the AP's timestamp, bestie βstatusβ status of the measurement. how did it go, basically π«addrβ address of the peer. who are we even measuring, right? π―finalβ if you're reporting partial results, mark this one as the last one. and if you're not reporting partial results? always set this flag. literally always, no cap π©ap_tsf_validβ indicates theap_tsfvalue is valid. so if it's not set, don't go trusting that TSF, ok? πtypeβ type of the measurement reported. and here's the tea: we only support reporting one type at a time π΅ but you can report multiple results separately and they're all aggregated for userspace. so like, one at a time but also all together, iykyk β¨{unnamed_union}β anonymous. she has no name. mysterious. main character energy fr πftmβ FTM result. the actual payload of the union right here π
and that's part one, bestie β more coming, don't go anywhere π
β¨ SEE ALSO β¨
okay so this is the part where the page just drops the entire extended friend group on you π like genuinely, every single cross-reference cfg80211 has ever known shows up here. Don't panic. Nothing got cut, nothing got merged, and yes we're going through all of them. Consider this the group chat roster: everybody's tagged, everybody's here, and the order is exactly as it was. Slay.
