batadv_bla_c..._backbone_gw(9)

💅 batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw — Kernel API Manual, section 9

okay so bestie, welcome to the group chat. this is batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw, and no, the header line got cutely truncated to batadv_bla_c..._backbone_gw because man page titles have a character budget and honestly same. it's a kernel API page, section 9, so like—kernel dev territory, but we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw — Get valid reference for backbone_gw of claim

like, you hand it a claim, it hands you back a valid reference to that claim's backbone_gw. that's the whole vibe check. 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct batadv_bla_backbone_gw * batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw (struct
batadv_bla_claim *claim );

literally just one argument, one return. no options, no flags, no environment variables, no config file, no exit statuses — this function is lowkey unbothered and we respect it for that. 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• claim — the claim whose backbone_gw should be returned. yes, that's it. that's the entire input. she's a one-argument icon 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns a valid reference to claim::backbone_gw. so when you're done with it, don't just ghost it — the rest of the BLA crew has _put and _release functions for a reason, iykyk 🔥

no cap: "valid reference" is doing real work in that sentence. treat the reference like the main character it is and it'll treat you right. 💅

that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and absolutely not going to explain bridge loop avoidance to you in a single function's man page. go read the ones above if you want the lore. 🧚
