batadv_bla_c..._dump_bucket(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is batadv_bla_claim_dump_bucket from the Kernel API Manual (section 9), and what it does is dump one bucket of the claim table to a netlink socket. that's it, that's the whole gig. one bucket. netlink socket. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int batadv_bla_claim_dump_bucket (struct sk_buff *msg , u32 portid ,
       struct netlink_callback *cb , struct batadv_hard_iface *primary_if ,
       struct batadv_hashtable *hash , unsigned int bucket , int *idx_skip );

like, yes, that's a whole lot of parameters. it's giving "seven arguments and zero chill" but we love her for it 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • msg — the buffer for the message. this is where the good stuff goes.
  • portid — the netlink port. literally just the port id, no cap.
  • cb — Control block containing additional options. it's carrying the extra vibes so you don't have to.
  • primary_if — the primary interface. main character energy, obviously 👑
  • hash — the hash to dump. which hash? this one. the one you pass in.
  • bucket — the bucket index to dump. remember: one bucket per call, that's the whole point bestie.
  • idx_skip — how many entries to skip. like scrolling past the first few posts, but for entries 🦋

💀 RETURN 💀

always 0. that's it. she never misses, she never fails, she always returns 0. iconic behavior honestly 🫶
