batadv_is_my_client(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 batadv_is_my_client — the "is this client mine?" check

okay so bestie, welcome to the batadv_is_my_client(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is a tiny little function with one job, and it does it beautifully. It's the vibe check for the translation table: you hand it a client MAC and a VLAN id, and it tells you whether that client is being served by the local node. That's it. That's the whole personality. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool batadv_is_my_client (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , const u8 *addr
, unsigned short vid );

literally just three things in, one bool out. no cap. 🦋

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. yes the whole mesh interface info lives in there, she's the main character 💅
  • addr — the mac address of the client to check. the one you're side-eyeing 👀
  • vid — VLAN identifier. because clients live inside VLANs, obviously 🍓

🫶 RETURN 🫶

  • true — the client is served by this node. she's ours 💖
  • false — she's not. not ours, not today 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./net/batman-adv/translation-table.c — like, the entire translation table lives here, and honestly the sheer number of neighbours this function has is giving "popular girl at school" energy. Look at this roster 👑

like, ninety-plus functions. she knows everyone. iykyk 💀✨

ngl the whole page is short and sweet — three args, one bool, and a friend group of a hundred translation-table functions. obsessed. 🌈

and that's the page, bestie 🧚 from ./net/batman-adv, dated October 2026, manual section 9 — go check on your clients, they're probably fine 💜
