💅 batadv_gw_node_get(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little function from the batman-adv kernel world and honestly it's giving "small but crucial" — it's literally the vibe check that finds your gateway node 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_gw_node_get — retrieve gateway node from list of available gateways 🦋

Like, that's the whole job. Find the gateway node. From the list. Of available gateways. Iconic, no notes 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct batadv_gw_node * batadv_gw_node_get (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv
, struct batadv_orig_node *orig_node );

so you call it with two things and it hands you back a struct batadv_gw_node * 🫶

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 💖 this is the main character struct that's holding everything about your mesh interface, lowkey a lot of responsibility ngl
  • orig_node — originator announcing gateway capabilities 👑 this is the homie out here telling everyone it can do gateway things

⭐ RETURN ⭐

gateway node if found or NULL otherwise 😭

so either you get your gateway node, or you get NULL and have to deal with it. fr fr always check, don't just assume 💀
