STRUCT STATISTICS_TX_POWER(9)
π struct statistics_tx_power(9) β from the Kernel API Manual, bestie β¨
okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel API manual, section 9, and you stumble on struct statistics_tx_power π¦ and you're like "what even is this?" β don't worry, I got you. It's literally just the current tx power. That's the whole vibe. No cap.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
struct statistics_tx_power {
u8 ant_a;
u8 ant_b;
u8 ant_c;
u8 reserved;
};
Look at her. Four little u8 fields. Small but mighty. π
π Members π
ant_aβ the current tx power on chain a, measured in 1/2 dB step πant_bβ the current tx power on chain b, also in 1/2 dB step πΈant_cβ yep, you guessed it: the current tx power on chain c, in 1/2 dB step too π«Άreservedβ reserved for alignment π§ (it's doing structural support work, respect her)
fr fr keep the 1/2 dB step units in mind β that's not optional info, that's the whole measurement system π

like, that's the whole friend group right there π go read them next, they're iconic.
sign-off time π this cutie lives at ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (that's the source path, truncated by the manpage itself, not me β I would never π), and the version/date stamp is October 2026, all wrapped under the title struct statistics_tx_power(9). slay. periodt. π
