STRUCT QMI_MSG_HANDLER(9)

💖 struct qmi_msg_handler(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the whole manual, and today's main character is struct qmi_msg_handler, aka the little descriptor that tells everyone what a QMI message handler actually is. it's giving "backstage pass to the kernel" energy, ngl 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct qmi_msg_handler — literally just the description of a QMI message handler. that's it, that's the vibe 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct qmi_msg_handler {
    unsigned int type;
    unsigned int msg_id;
    const struct qmi_elem_info *ei;
    size_t decoded_size;
    void (*fn)(struct qmi_handle *qmi, struct sockaddr_qrtr *sq, struct
qmi_txn *txn, const void *decoded);
 };

like, look at her. struct goals fr fr 💅

👑 Members 👑

okay so let's meet the cast, one field at a time, no skipping, we stan a complete roster:

• type — the type of message 🍓 (yes, that's the whole description, and honestly? iconic minimalism)
• msg_id — the message id 🌈
• ei — the description of the QMI encoded message ✨
• decoded_size — the size of the decoded object 📏
• fn — the function to invoke as the message is decoded 🔥

not me listing every single one of these with full respect. the way each field just does its job? obsessed 🫶

and that's the page, bestie 💖 this one lives in ./include/linux/soc/qcom, dated October 2026, and it signs off as struct qmi_msg_handler(9) — periodt. stay slay, go decode some messages 🌸✨
