✨ batadv_is_wext_netdev(9) ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's all about one teeny tiny little bool-returning function in batman-adv. it's giving "small but crucial vibe check for network devices" 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_is_wext_netdev — check if the given net_device struct is a wext wifi interface 🦋

like, that's literally it. it peeks at a device and tells you if it's a wext wifi situation or not. no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool batadv_is_wext_netdev (struct net_device *net_device );

yup, that's the whole signature. takes one pointer, hands you back a bool. iconic behavior honestly 💖

---

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• net_device — the device to check 👀 that's the one and only thing you're passing in, and it's the thing getting inspected.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• true if the net device is a wext wireless device ✨
• false otherwise 💀

that's the whole deal. no in-between, no maybe, just a clean bool. periodt.
