💅 batadv_bla_claim_dump(9) — like, the whole Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, sit down, grab a boba 🧋 — this one is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly kinda iconic. It's the function that dumps the claim table out to a netlink socket. Yes, the whole table. She just empties it all out, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int batadv_bla_claim_dump (struct sk_buff *msg , struct netlink_callback
 *cb );

literally that's the whole signature, periodt. Takes two things, gives you back an int 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• msg — buffer for the message. This is the sk_buff where the good stuff goes 💌
• cb — callback structure containing arguments. She's carrying the arguments for you, a whole little messenger 🧚
