STRUCT QLINK_RESP_BAND_INFO_GET(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie πŸ’– welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” we’re looking at one very specific little response struct, and yes it’s giving β€œwireless driver group chat” energy πŸ¦‹. no preamble, let’s go.


✨ NAME ✨

this is the response for the QLINK_CMD_BAND_INFO_GET cmd. periodt. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct qlink_resp_band_info_get {
    struct qlink_resp rhdr;
    u8 band;
    u8 num_chans;
    u8 num_bitrates;
    u8 rsvd[1];
    u8 info[];
 };

that’s the shape, bestie β€” rhdr, then band, num_chans, num_bitrates, rsvd[1], and the flexible info[] at the end. iconic honestly πŸ‘‘.


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • band β€” the frequency band that the response describes, one of enum qlink_band.
  • num_chans β€” the total number of channels info TLVs contained in reply.
  • num_bitrates β€” the total number of bitrate TLVs contained in reply.
  • info β€” the variable-length info portion. yes bestie, it’s variable-length and it said what it said πŸ’….
