STRUCT QLINK_EVENT_SCAN_RESULT(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the main character is struct qlink_event_scan_result — literally the data for the QLINK_EVENT_SCAN_RESULTS event. it's giving scan-result payload realness, no cap. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the struct in all its glory — copy it exactly, bestie:

struct qlink_event_scan_result {
    struct qlink_event ehdr;
    __le64 tsf;
    __le16 freq;
    __le16 capab;
    __le16 bintval;
    s8 sig_dbm;
    u8 ssid_len;
    u8 ssid[IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN];
    u8 bssid[ETH_ALEN];
    u8 rsvd[2];
    u8 payload[];
};

🎀 Members 🎀

member-by-member vibe check:

• tsf — TSF timestamp indicating when scan results were generated. 🕰️
• freq — the center frequency of the channel where the BSS was discovered — specifically the BSS for which the scan result event was generated. 📡
• capab — capabilities field. periodt. 💅
• bintval — beacon interval announced by the discovered BSS. 🥁
• sig_dbm — signal strength in dBm. lowkey important. 📶
• ssid_len — length of the SSID announced by the BSS. 📏
• ssid — SSID announced by the discovered BSS. 🛜
• bssid — BSSID announced by the discovered BSS. 🏷️
• payload — IEs that are announced by the discovered BSS in its MGMt frames. iykyk.

also chillin' in the struct: struct qlink_event ehdr; and u8 rsvd[2]; — the original Members list doesn't give them separate blurbs, so I'm not inventing lore. 🫶
