batadv_compare_claim(9)

💖 batadv_compare_claim — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the batadv_compare_claim(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. no cap, this one is short but she is important. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_compare_claim — compare address and vid of two claims

like, that's the whole gig. she compares the address and the vid of two claims. iconic behaviour honestly 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool batadv_compare_claim (const struct hlist_node *node , const void *data2 );

look at her go. returns a bool, takes a const struct hlist_node *node and a const void *data2. periodt 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• node — the list node of the first entry to compare. aka the first claim getting the vibe check ✨
• data2 — pointer to the second claims. yeah, the second one, she's coming in as a void * so be nice to her 🙈

---

👑 RETURN 👑

true if the claims have the same data, false otherwise 💖

that's it. that's the whole answer. no in-between, no "maybe", just true or false. main character energy fr fr 🔥
