STRUCT HAM_CLIENT_PROPERTIES(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct ham_client_properties(9) β€” like, the whole Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is struct ham_client_properties β€” yes that's the header's whole name folded up all cute, the ellipsis is doing its own thing, don't @ me πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

struct ham_client_properties β€” literally just the properties of one single client. one. singular. iconic behavior only 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, character for character, no cap:

struct ham_client_properties {
    u16 client_number;
    u8 protocol_ver;
    u8 reserved;
    uuid_t client_uuid;
    u32 client_mtu;
    u32 flags;
 };

that's it. that's the struct. she's small but she's booked and busy πŸ’…βœ¨


πŸ¦‹ MEMBERS πŸ¦‹

okay now we go field by field, bestie, and yes every single one gets its moment:

  • client_number β€” the client id in firmware πŸ”₯ like her little name tag at the function
  • protocol_ver β€” the client protocol version, so you know which era of protocol she's living in ⭐
  • reserved β€” reserved. that's it. that's the whole description. she's reserved (literally) πŸ™ˆ
  • client_uuid β€” the protocol name, and it's a UUID πŸŽ€ (yes the docs call it a "protocol name" and yes it's a UUID, we don't question the lore)
  • client_mtu β€” max message length supported by client πŸ’Œ the biggest message she'll accept, respect her limits
  • flags β€” client flags 🚩 not the dating kind, the bitfield kind
ngl there's no hidden trick here β€” every field is listed above, and that's the entire member list. no skipping, no summarizing, we ate and left no crumbs πŸ“

that's the whole page, you're officially educated πŸ’œ stay hydrated, read your headers, and remember: ./drivers/misc/issei, October 2026, struct ham_c...t_properties(9) β€” the source, the version, the date, and the prettiest truncated struct name in the game. mwah πŸ’–πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈπŸŒΈ
