batadv_iv_gw_dump(9)

✨ batadv_iv_gw_dump(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is batadv_iv_gw_dump. it lives in ./net/batman-adv and honestly? it's giving "i just dump gateways into a message, no big deal." 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_iv_gw_dump — Dump gateways into a message

like. that's it. that's the whole job. gateway info goes in the message. periodt. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void batadv_iv_gw_dump (struct sk_buff *msg , struct netlink_callback
* cb , struct batadv_priv *bat_priv );

it returns void btw — no return value, no little treat at the end. it just does the thing and leaves. main character energy fr fr ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• msg — the Netlink message you're dumping into 🫶 this is the destination, the vibe check container, the place where the gateway tea gets poured
• cb — the control block, and it's carrying additional options — lowkey the little bag of settings that comes along for the ride 🎀
• bat_priv — the bat priv, which has all the mesh interface information in it. like, all of it. the whole mesh. iconic 👑
