wiphy_rfkill...state_reason(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ wiphy_rfkill...state_reason(9) ✨

okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — the page is literally called wiphy_rfkill...state_reason(9) and yeah the name is cursed but we move 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state_reason — the function that slides into cfg80211's DMs to tell it about the hardware block state 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state_reason (struct wiphy *wiphy , bool
       blocked , enum rfkill_hard_block_reasons reason );

like that's the whole signature, no cap ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • wiphy — bestie, this is the wiphy 💖 that's it, that's the whole description, she's the main character here
  • blocked — the block status 👑 basically whether it's blocked or not
  • reason — one of the reasons sitting inside enum rfkill_hard_block_reasons 🧚 like you gotta pick from that enum, it's giving "choose your fighter" but make it kernel
lowkey this is only part one bestie, there's more coming so don't go anywhere 🌈

okay so there's more page to go, keep reading 👀

okay bestie, buckle up — this SEE ALSO section is long long. like, "my thumb hurts from scrolling" long 💀 but every single one of these is a real page you can go read, so we're listing them all. no skipping, no cap.

Everything here lives around Kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h, and honestly the whole wireless subsystem is just one giant friend group that all references each other. iykyk 🌸

like… that's the whole extended universe, bestie 😭 every struct, every enum, every cfg80211_* function that ever texted this function back. tap any of them and you get more lore. it's giving "the friend group has a friend group". 🫶

...okay so the cross-reference list keeps going, and honestly it's giving "the whole kernel net stack in one group chat" 💫 — every one of these is its own man page ((9) = kernel API page, iykyk), so here's the full roll call, no skipping, no cap:

Stamped straight from ./include/net, dated October 2026, and the star of the show is wiphy_rfkill...state_reason(9) — bye babe, mwah 🎀🦋
