STRUCT IWL_MARKER(9)

💅 struct iwl_marker(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct iwl_marker(9) page 💖 this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about dropping a lil time-stamp marker into your usniffer logs. buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_marker — mark info into the usniffer logs 🫶 (yes that's the whole vibe, it marks stuff, into the logs, iconic)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iwl_marker {
    u8 dw_len;
    u8 marker_id;
    __le16 reserved;
    __le64 timestamp;
    __le32 metadata[];
};

look at her. she's struct-shaped, she's got a flexible array member at the end, she's that girl 💅

🦋 Members 🦋

• dw_len — the amount of dwords that follow this byte, including this byte itself. like yes, she counts herself, main character energy 👑
• marker_id — a unique marker id, a.k.a. iwl_marker_id. no duplicates allowed, that's the whole point bestie 🔥
• reserved — reserved. that's it. that's the whole description. she's just chillin there 💀 don't touch
• timestamp — in milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. epoch o'clock, no cap ⭐
• metadata — additional meta data that will be written to the unsiffer log. extra lore, lovingly appended 🙈

---

💜 Description 💜

(MARKER_CMD = 0xcb) — that's the command, write it down 📝

So what she does: she marks the UTC time stamp into the usniffer logs together with additional metadata, so that the usniffer output can actually be parsed. like, legibly. by a parser. which is kind of the dream, honestly ✨

and listen — in the command response the ucode will return the GP2 time. that's not me being cryptic, that's just what it says 🧚

and that's the page!! 🎀💖✨

cute lil sign-off time: this one comes from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (the path got cut off in the footer, not my fault, blame the manpage renderer 😭) and it's dated October 2026, and the footer still says struct iwl_marker(9) because she's consistent like that 💅 periodt 🦋
