The linear response of the wall-shear stress of a turbulent flow to wall waviness is\udanalyzed in the context of a comparison between existing experiments, direct numerical\udsimulations, and analytical approximations. The spectral region where the response is\udlargest is found to be amenable to a simplified quasilaminar analysis. The end result is\uda parameterless description of this phenomenon that completely captures its physics in a\udsingle analytical formula, a Pad´e approximation of the response function
