STRUCT IEEE80211_TPC_REPORT_IE(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay bestie, this is the manual page for struct ieee80211_tpc_report_ie — aka the TPC Report element, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. yes, we're in kernel-land, and yes, it slays 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

look at her. two bytes. two whole fields. and she's iconic:

struct ieee80211_tpc_report_ie {
    u8 tx_power;
    u8 link_margin;
 };

that's it. that's the struct. not me being obsessed with how tidy it is 😭

🎀 Members 🎀

  • tx_power — the Transmit Power, no cap. it's a u8, she's one byte, she's doing her best.
  • link_margin — the Link Margin. also a u8. also one byte. also doing her best. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, this structure represents the payload of the "TPC Report element" — that's a direct quote, bestie, we don't make this stuff up — and it's exactly as described in IEEE Std 802.11-2020 section 9.4.2.16. yep, the spec actually says that, iykyk 📡✨

that's genuinely the whole description. she's a small struct with a big spec citation energy. main character vibes, honestly 🌈

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

okay so the source file for all this is the kernel file ./include/linux/ieee80211.h — go say hi to it. and then there's this whole friend group, literally the entire 802.11 extended universe, here they all are:

like I said. the whole extended universe. go read all of them, bestie, I believe in you 🧚💜

fr fr, that's the entire page. no hidden options, no exit statuses, no environment variables — she's a struct, not a program. keep every reference intact though, because those cross-links are the whole point ✨

and that's a wrap! this one's from the ./include/linux directory, dated October 2026, and it's the struct ieee8...pc_report_ie(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — mwah, love her, bye bestie 💅💖🎀
