STRUCT QLINK_CMD(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is struct qlink_cmd — the QLINK command message header. yes, THE header. the one that carries the vibes for every QLINK_MSG_TYPE_CMD message. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct qlink_cmd — the QLINK command message header, aka the little envelope every command rides in 🎀

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

struct qlink_cmd {
    struct qlink_msg_header mhdr;
    __le16 cmd_id;
    __le16 seq_num;
    u8 macid;
    u8 vifid;
    u8 rsvd[2];
 };

look at her. flawless. no notes. 💅

🦋 Members 🦋

  • mhdr — the common QLINK message header. every command's got one, it's the shared foundation, the group-chat invite everyone gets 🫶
  • cmd_id — the command id, and it's literally one of enum qlink_cmd_type. it's giving "which command is this, bestie" energy.
  • seq_num — the sequence number of the command message. this one's the socially-aware friend: it's used for matching the command with its response message. no cap, that's her whole job 🔥
  • macid — the index of the physical radio device this command is destined to... or QLINK_MACID_RSVD if it's not applicable. so if it doesn't apply, you just slide in the reserved value, we don't force it to have a macid, that would be mean 💀
  • vifid — the index of the virtual wireless interface on the specified macid that the command is destined to, or QLINK_VIFID_RSVD if not applicable. same deal — if there's no interface in the picture, reserved value, done, moving on ✨
  • rsvd[2] — reserved bytes. two of them. they're just chillin'. do not touch. they're the quiet ones in the group chat 🙈

💜 Description 💜

so basically: this is the header used for QLINK messages of QLINK_MSG_TYPE_CMD type. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she's a header, she carries her fields, she shows up in command messages, she slays. periodt 👑

like I said. LONG. but we respect her for it 💖

not me reading this whole list out loud. anyway, iykyk 🧚
