The Link Quality Indication data exposed by drivers could not be accessed from userspace. Since this data is per-datagram received, it makes sense to make it available to userspace application through the ancillary data mechanism in recvmsg rather than through ioctls. This can be activated using the socket option WPAN_WANTLQI under SOL_IEEE802154 protocol. This LQI data is available in the ancillary data buffer under the SOL_IEEE802154 level as the type WPAN_LQI. The value is an unsigned byte indicating the link quality with values ranging 0-255.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
