zd_rx_rate(9)

πŸ’– zd_rx_rate(9) πŸ’–

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about one tiny lil function that does one tiny lil job. no cap, it's short, but it's important, so let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

zd_rx_rate β€” the function that reports the zd-rate πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u8 zd_rx_rate (const void *rx_frame , const struct rx_status *status );

literal perfection, look at it. returns a u8, takes two args, done. iconic behavior honestly πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • rx_frame β€” the received frame, like, the actual frame that came in πŸ¦‹
  • status β€” the rx_status exactly as it was given by the device. don't mess with it, just take it as-is, iykyk ✨

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so here's the vibe: the rate is encoded inside the received packet, right? and this function's whole main character moment is converting that encoded rate into the zd-rate β€” the same form we're already using in other places in the driver 🌈

that's it. that's the whole job. and it ate, fr fr πŸ’…
