STRUCT CFG80211_TX_STATUS(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is struct cfg80211_tx_status(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it's literally the TX status for management frame information 💅✨. That's the whole vibe: one cute little struct holding the details about a management frame's transmit status. No cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

       struct cfg80211_tx_status {
           u64 cookie;
           u64 tx_tstamp;
           u64 ack_tstamp;
           const u8 *buf;
           size_t len;
           bool ack;
        };

💖 Members 💖

  • cookie — Cookie returned by cfg80211_ops::mgmt_tx 🍪
  • tx_tstamp — hardware TX timestamp in nanoseconds ⏱️
  • ack_tstamp — hardware ack RX timestamp in nanoseconds 🎀
  • buf — Management frame (header + body) 🦋
  • len — length of the frame data 📏
  • ack — Whether frame was acknowledged ✅

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

okay bestie, this is the part where the page just goes "and here's everyone else" and then lists, like, everything — and honestly? iconic behaviour, we love a thorough queen 👑 Everything down here hangs out in the kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h, and there are a LOT of them, so I've chopped them into lil groups so your eyes don't fall out of your head 🫶 all names are verbatim, no cap.
