STRUCT IWL_TDLS_CHANNEL_SWITCH_CMD(9)

🦋 struct iwl_tdls_channel_switch_cmd — TDLS channel switch command 🦋

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about struct iwl_tdls_channel_switch_cmd — the TDLS channel switch command. it lives in the kernel, it's lowkey iconic, and we're gonna go through it field by field. no skipping, fr fr 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct iwl_tdls_channel_switch_cmd {
    u8 switch_type;
    __le32 peer_sta_id;
    struct iwl_fw_channel_info ci;
    struct iwl_tdls_channel_switch_cmd_tail tail;
 };

like, that's the whole shape of it 🎀 four members, each one doing its own little job.

🌸 MEMBERS 🌸

• switch_type — this one tells you which kind of switch it is, and it's see enum iwl_tdls_channel_switch_type for the actual values. iykyk 👑
• peer_sta_id — the station id of the TDLS peer. that's your bestie on the other end of the link 🫶
• ci — the channel we switch to. it's a struct iwl_fw_channel_info, so it's carrying the whole channel situation, not just a number ✨
• tail — the command tail, struct iwl_tdls_channel_switch_cmd_tail. the little ending bit. the garnish. we love her 💖

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the way this works: the command is sent to initiate a channel switch, and it's also sent in response to incoming TDLS channel-switch request/response packets from remote peers. both directions, main character energy, no cap 🔥

literally the same command doing double duty — starting the switch AND replying to the remote peer's request/response packets. iconic behaviour honestly.
