💖 batadv_hardif_neigh_get 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the <rainbow>Kernel API Manual</rainbow> page for batadv_hardif_neigh_get — yes that's a lot of letters, no I will not be pronouncing it out loud 💅 it's a kernel function and it's iconic in its own lowkey way.

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_hardif_neigh_get — retrieve a hardif neighbour from the list 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct batadv_hardif_neigh_node * batadv_hardif_neigh_get (const struct
batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface , const u8 *neigh_addr );

like literally just two args and a return pointer, we love a clean signature ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hard_iface — the interface where this neighbour is connected to 🔌 that's the spot, that's the home base
  • neigh_addr — the address of the neighbour 📮 so we know which one we're looking for

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Looks for and possibly returns a neighbour belonging to this hard interface.

so it's a search 🕵️‍♀️ it goes looking, and possibly hands you back a neighbour that belongs to this hard interface. note the "possibly" — she is not promising anything, and honestly? respect 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

neighbor when found. Otherwise NULL 💀 no neighbour, no pointer, just NULL and vibes.

fr fr keep an eye on that NULL case, bestie — that's the whole vibe check right there.
