STRUCT CFG802154_SCAN_REQUEST(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct cfg802154_scan_request — bestie, this is literally the scan request struct, okay? it's giving "i wanna scan and i have opinions about it" ✨

okay so real quick: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and we're about to go through every single member together, no skipping, no "tl;dr", because you deserve the whole thing 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct cfg802154_scan_request {
    enum nl802154_scan_types type;
    u8 page;
    u32 channels;
    u8 duration;
    struct wpan_dev *wpan_dev;
    struct wpan_phy *wpan_phy;
 };

like... look at her. six fields. main character energy 👑

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so let's meet the cast 💅

• type — the type of scan to be performed. like, which flavor of scan are we doing. it's an enum nl802154_scan_types, so don't just throw numbers at it, mkay 💀
• page — the page on which to perform the scan. a u8. yes bestie, page, not the whole book 📖
• channels — the channels in the page to be scanned. a u32. so like... the page, and then within it, the channels. got it? got it 🌈
• duration — time spent on each channel, and it is calculated with:

aBaseSuperframeDuration * (2 ^ duration + 1)

lowkey the most extra formula here but she ate, ngl 🔥

• wpan_dev — the wpan device on which to perform the scan. struct wpan_dev *. the device. the it-girl. 🦋
• wpan_phy — the wpan phy on which to perform the scan. struct wpan_phy *. the phy underneath it all 💜
