14 * ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init - radiotap parser iterator initialization
15 * @iterator: radiotap_iterator to initialize
16 * @radiotap_header: radiotap header to parse
17 * @max_length: total length we can parse into (eg, whole packet length)
19 * Returns: 0 or a negative error code if there is a problem.
21 * This function initializes an opaque iterator struct which can then
22 * be passed to ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_next() to visit every radiotap
23 * argument which is present in the header. It knows about extended
24 * present headers and handles them.
26 * How to use:
27 * call __ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init() to init a semi-opaque iterator
28 * struct ieee80211_radiotap_iterator (no need to init the struct beforehand)
29 * checking for a good 0 return code. Then loop calling
30 * __ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_next()... it returns either 0,
31 * -ENOENT if there are no more args to parse, or -EINVAL if there is a problem.
32 * The iterator's @this_arg member points to the start of the argument
33 * associated with the current argument index that is present, which can be
34 * found in the iterator's @this_arg_index member. This arg index corresponds
35 * to the IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_... defines.
37 * Radiotap header length:
38 * You can find the CPU-endian total radiotap header length in
39 * iterator->max_length after executing ieee80211_radiotap_iterator_init()
40 * successfully.
42 * Alignment Gotcha:
43 * You must take care when dereferencing iterator.this_arg
44 * for multibyte types... the pointer is not aligned. Use
45 * get_unaligned((type *)iterator.this_arg) to dereference
46 * iterator.this_arg for type "type" safely on all arches.
48 * Example code:
49 * See Documentation/networking/radiotap-headers.txt

116 * This function provides the next radiotap arg index (IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_*)
117 * in @this_arg_index and sets @this_arg to point to the
118 * payload for the field. It takes care of alignment handling and extended
119 * present fields. @this_arg can be changed by the caller (eg,
120 * incremented to move inside a compound argument like
121 * IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_CHANNEL). The args pointed to are in
122 * little-endian format whatever the endianess of your CPU.
