STRUCT QMI_ELEM_INFO(9)

💅 struct qmi_elem_info(9) — like, the whole vibe

okay so bestie, welcome to page struct qmi_elem_info(9) from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a struct that literally exists to describe how to encode a single QMI element. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? she's iconic for it 🎀

🌸 NAME

struct qmi_elem_info — describes how to encode a single QMI element 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

struct qmi_elem_info {
    enum qmi_elem_type data_type;
    u32 elem_len;
    u32 elem_size;
    enum qmi_array_type array_type;
    u8 tlv_type;
    u32 offset;
    const struct qmi_elem_info *ei_array;
 };

no cap, that's the whole shape of her 👑

🦋 Members

• data_type — the data type of this element. literally just: what kind of thing are we even encoding here 💅
• elem_len — array length of this element, if it's an array. if it's not an array… well, look at the "if" bestie 🙈
• elem_size — size of a single instance of this data type. one (1) instance. singular energy ⭐
• array_type — the array type of this element 🌈
• tlv_type — QMI message specific type used to identify which element is present in an incoming message. it's giving name-tag-at-the-party energy 🎀
• offset — specifies the offset of the first instance of this element in the data structure. first instance only, don't get it twisted 🫶
• ei_array — a null-terminated array of qmi_elem_info to describe nested structures. yes, it's the same struct, inside the struct, describing more structs — recursive queen behavior 👑💀
