# wimax\_state\_change(9)

Set the current state of a WiMAX device

## NAME

wimax\_state\_change - Set the current state of a WiMAX device

## SYNOPSIS

**void wimax\_state\_change(struct wimax\_dev \*** *wimax\_dev***, enum wimax\_st** *new\_state***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*wimax\_dev*

WiMAX device descriptor (properly referenced)

*new\_state*

New state to switch to

## DESCRIPTION

This implements the state changes for the wimax devices. It will

\- verify that the state transition is legal (for now it'll just print a warning if not) according to the table in linux/wimax.h's documentation for 'enum wimax\_st'.

\- perform the actions needed for leaving the current state and whichever are needed for entering the new state.

\- issue a report to user space indicating the new state (and an optional payload with information about the new state).

## NOTE

*wimax\_dev* must be locked
