STRUCT MXL862XX_FW_VERSION(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct mxl862xx_fw_version(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” yes we're reading kernel docs together, that's the vibe now, and honestly? iconic.

Today's main character is struct mxl862xx_fw_version, and its whole entire job is holding a firmware version so you can compare it and display it. That's it. That's the struct. Lowkey perfect, no notes. ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct mxl862xx_fw_version {
    u8 major;
    u8 minor;
    u16 revision;
 };

that's the whole thing, bestie β€” three little members, all vibing in a struct. 🫢


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • major β€” the firmware major version. it's a u8, so it's smol and cute and definitely not doing too much.
  • minor β€” the firmware minor version. also a u8. also just here for the vibes.
  • revision β€” the firmware revision number, and this one's a u16, so it's got a little more room to be extra. πŸ’…
ngl, this struct is literally just a glow-up container for version numbers. if you're trying to compare firmware versions or show them off somewhere, this is the little guy you carry them around in. 🧚
