STRUCT IEEE80211_QUIET_IE(9)

💖 struct ieee80211_quiet_ie(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual — section 9, the land of structs. today's main character is struct ieee80211_quiet_ie, and honestly? she's giving "small but mighty". sit down, grab a strawberry, we're doing this 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

struct ieee80211_quiet_ie — the Quiet element, that's it, that's the vibe 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ieee80211_quiet_ie {
    u8 count;
    u8 period;
    __le16 duration;
    __le16 offset;
 };

look at her. four fields. no notes. absolutely ate 💅 (also yes, the original really does have that lil extra space before the closing }; — we keep it, we don't touch, we respect the lore)

---

🎀 Members (the whole squad) 🎀

• count — the Quiet Count ✨
• period — the Quiet Period 🌈
• duration — the Quiet Duration ⭐ (it's a __le16, little-endian girlie)
• offset — the Quiet Offset 🫶

---

💜 Description 💜

so what is this? this structure literally represents the payload of the "Quiet element" — and before you ask, yes, that's its real official name, no cap — as described in IEEE Std 802.11-2020 section 9.4.2.22. iconic standard, iconic section number, we love a citation 👑
