STRUCT IEEE802154_COORD_DESC(9)

👑 struct ieee802154_coord_desc — Coordinator descriptor ✨

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely just the glow-up of one little struct, but she's important, so let's give her the attention she deserves 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ieee802154_coord_desc — the Coordinator descriptor, aka the little card that tells you everything about a coordinator you just heard beeping at you 📡

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct ieee802154_coord_desc {
    struct ieee802154_addr addr;
    u8 page;
    u8 channel;
    u16 superframe_spec;
    u8 link_quality;
    bool gts_permit;
 };

like, that's the whole thing bestie, six fields, no cap 🫶

🦋 Members 🦋

so here's the member-by-member breakdown, and yes I'm gonna give each one a moment ⭐

• addr — the PAN ID and the coordinator address, both in one field, she's efficient like that 💖
• page — the page this coordinator is using 🔥
• channel — the channel this coordinator is using 📻
• superframe_spec — the SuperFrame specification as received (emphasis on as received, we're not out here editing it, we're just reporting 🫡)
• link_quality — the link quality indicator at which the beacon was received, i.e. how good it sounded when it hit your antenna 🌈
• gts_permit — the coordinator accepts GTS requests, and it's a bool, so it's a simple yes/no, no drama 🙈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay this is the friendship circle, and honestly she knows everyone 👑

Kernel file ./include/net/cfg802154.h, and then all these besties:

• enum wpan_phy_flags(9)
• struct ieee802154_addr(9)
• struct ieee802154_pan_device(9)
• struct cfg802154_scan_request(9)
• struct cfg802154_beacon_request(9)
• struct cfg802154_mac_pkt(9)
• cfg802154_device_is_associated(9)

• cfg802154_device_is_child(9)
• cfg802154_set_max_associations(9)
• cfg802154_get_free_short_addr(9)

ngl if you're reading this page you probably want at least three of those too, so go click them, I'll wait 🧚

aaaand that's the page!! 🌸 sign-off time: this one lives under ./include/net, dated October 2026, and the footer calls her struct ieee8...4_coord_desc(9) — yes the name is truncated in the header/footer, no I don't know why, but we respect her 💀✨ periodt 🎀
