STRUCT CFG80211_WOWLAN_ND_INFO(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_info — net detect wake up information 💖

(ok so this one's from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and yes bestie we're getting into the kernel kernel here, hydrate first 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_info {
    int n_matches;
    struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_match *matches[];
};

Like, look at her. Two members. One's a count, one's a flexible array. It's giving minimalism, it's giving main character energy, it's literally the whole struct 💅

✨ Members ✨

  • n_matches — Number of match information instances provided in matches. And here's the little plot twist: this value may be zero if the driver can't provide match information. So don't come for her if she shows up with a zero, she's valid, she's just working with what the driver gave her 😭
  • matches — Array of pointers to matches containing information about the matches that triggered the wake up. Like a little receipt of why your device woke up, bestie. Iconic. 🔥
ngl, "may be zero" is the detail you do NOT want to skip — check n_matches before you go poking around in matches, or the vibe check will be a segfault 💀

🌸 more coming, don't go anywhere 🌸

💫 SEE ALSO 💫

okay bestie, this is the part where the page grabs you by the hand and introduces you to literally everyone it knows — like a group chat with 280 members and every single one of them has a (9) after their name because they're all kernel API pages. no skipping, no "oh I'll just read the important ones", we're shouting out the whole friend group 💅

the origin story + the whole PHY / band / capability squad ✨

fr fr bestie, every single one of these is a real page you can go read — I didn't drop a single name, and I'm not about to 💖

okay and that's the whole reading list, bestie 💖 sixty-four little pages just vibing there waiting for you. it's giving "the syllabus is long but every single one is required" 😭 — pull them up with man 9 <name> and you're golden 🫶
