STRUCT IWL_WIPAN_SLOT(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ¦‹ struct iwl_wipan_slot(9) β€” bestie edition πŸ¦‹

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're about to get so cozy with one very small struct. it's literally just a little WiPAN slot configuration situation and honestly? it ate. let's go πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_wipan_slot β€” WiPAN slot configuration. that's it, that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole struct, exactly as it lives, no cap:

struct iwl_wipan_slot {
    __le16 width;
    u8 type;
    u8 reserved;
 };

three fields. tiny. iconic. main character energy in four lines 🫢


πŸ’– Members πŸ’–

okay let's meet the cast πŸ‘‘

  • width β€” time in TU. that's the whole description, she's a woman of few words πŸ’€
  • type β€” the flavor selector: 0 means BSS, 1 means PAN. pick your fighter ✨
  • reserved β€” reserved for alignment. she's not here to do anything, she's here to keep the layout looking right. we love a supportive queen πŸŽ€
ngl, reserved is literally just padding. do not put your hopes and dreams in there, bestie πŸ™ˆ
