STRUCT QLINK_MSG_HEADER(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, so this is page struct qlink_msg_header from the Kernel API Manual 💖 — yes it's a kernel struct page and yes you're gonna understand it, come on.

✨ NAME ✨

struct qlink_msg_header — the common QLINK protocol message header, aka the little matching outfit every QLINK message wears so the firmware knows who's talking 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct qlink_msg_header {
    __le16 type;
    __le16 len;
 };

like, that's it. two little __le16 fields and she's iconic. no cap. 👑

🌸 Members 🌸

  • type — the message type, and it's exactly one of enum qlink_msg_type. that's the whole personality right there 💅
  • len — the total length of the message including all headers. all of them. every single one. don't forget the headers or the vibes are off 😭

🧚 Description 🧚

this is the portion of the QLINK protocol header that is common for all message types — the shared, universal, main-character-energy bit that everybody gets 🫶

like?? that's the whole squad. every single one linked, no skips, we don't do that here 💀✨

ngl this page is short but she ate. four lines of C and a friend-list longer than your group chat. lowkey obsessed. 🍓

so yeah bestie, that's the whole page 💜 sign-off time: source is ./drivers/net/wireless/quanten... (the truncated path, it's giving mystery ✨) and it's dated October 2026, and the page signs itself struct qlink_msg_header(9) like the main character she is. mwah. 😚🎀
