🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_claim_hash_find — looks for a claim in the claim hash ✨

like, that's it, that's her whole job, and she does it well.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct batadv_bla_claim * batadv_claim_hash_find (struct batadv_priv
*bat_priv , struct batadv_bla_claim *data );

no cap, that's the signature. copy it exactly, don't get creative with it 💅

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. she's got everything in there, main character energy fr.
• data — search data (may be local/static data). yes bestie, local/static is totally fine here, she's not picky 🙈

---

✨ RETURN ✨

claim if found or NULL otherwise. that's the whole vibe check: you either get your claim back or you get nothing. 😭

ngl, always check for that NULL before you go dereferencing, bestie. she will not warn you twice.
