STRUCT IWL_SAP_MSG_DW(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct iwl_sap_msg_dw(9) β€” Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to struct iwl_sap_msg_dw(9) β€” yes that's the page name, yes it's from the Kernel API Manual, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫢

This is the little struct that "suits any DW long SAP message" β€” it's the generic DW-shaped envelope, no cap ✨


✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_sap_msg_dw β€” suits any DW long SAP message πŸ’Œ


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

here's the whole vibe, literally verbatim, don't come for me:

struct iwl_sap_msg_dw {
    struct iwl_sap_hdr hdr;
    __le32 val;
 };

🌸 Members 🌸

okay so there's exactly two fields and honestly? iconic minimalism πŸ¦‹

  • hdr β€” The SAP header πŸ‘‘ it's the main character energy of this struct, every message carries one.
  • val β€” The value of the DW 🌈 that's it, that's the payload.
ngl it's a two-field struct and it ate. periodt πŸ’…
