📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME

Okay bestie, welcome to the struct cfg80211_s1g_short_beacon(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ This is all about S1G short beacon data 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS

struct cfg80211_s1g_short_beacon {
    bool update;
    const u8 *short_head;
    const u8 *short_tail;
    size_t short_head_len;
    size_t short_tail_len;
 };

🫶 Members

  • update — a bool, and it gets set to true if the feature configuration should be updated 👑
  • short_head — short beacon head 🎀
  • short_tail — short beacon tail 🌸
  • short_head_len — short beacon head len 💖
  • short_tail_len — short beacon tail len ✨

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

🍓 last but never least

  • struct cfg80211_beaconing_check_config(9) — and that's the actual end of the reference list, every single one of them, we ate and left no crumbs 💅 (the page keeps going though 👀)

...and honestly bestie, the SEE ALSO list is where the whole friend group shows up, so let's meet them 💅 Every single one, no skips:

okay that's the whole group chat, bestie 🫶 notice how the S1G girlies (cfg80211_s1g_get_start_freq_khz(9), cfg80211_s1g_get_end_freq_khz(9), cfg80211_s1g_get_primary_sibling(9)) are right there at the end keeping our short beacon covered — it's giving found family 🥹

lowkey a whole 65 references is a lot to read, but the way that every one of them is a real page you can go read yourself? iconic. no cap. 🌸

and that's the page, bestie!! ✨ you made it to the very end, so here's the cute lil sign-off: this one lives in ./include/net, it's dated October 2026, and it goes by struct cfg80...short_beacon(9) — yes the title itself is doing a little censor-y ellipsis moment, we don't question it, we simply stan 💅🎀

go forth and beacon, short queen 👑🦋
