πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… STRUCT IWL_CONTEXT_INFO_VERSION(9) πŸ’…

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie β€” yes, that Kernel API Manual β€” and we're talking about struct iwl_context_info_version, aka the version structure. it's giving "little header that knows things about itself" energy and honestly? iconic. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_context_info_version β€” the version structure, periodt. πŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

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

struct iwl_context_info_version {
    __le16 mac_id;
    __le16 version;
    __le16 size;
    __le16 reserved;
 };

four little __le16 fields, all lined up, all doing their thing. we love a tidy struct. ✨


🌸 MEMBERS 🌸

  • mac_id β€” the SKU and revision id. that's it, that's the vibe check: it tells you what this thing is and which rev of it. 🏷️
  • version β€” the context information version id. literally the version of the context info, bestie, it says what it does on the label. 🫢
  • size β€” the size of the context information, measured in DWs. yes, DWs. that's the unit, don't come for me. πŸ“
  • reserved β€” it's reserved. πŸ™ˆ that's the whole description. it's a reserved field, mind your business, don't touch it. πŸ’€

ngl if you're here looking for chaos or danger, there's none on this page β€” it's a version struct. the only risk is getting the DW count wrong. πŸ“
