✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the batadv_iv_g...best_gw_node(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one is all about batadv_iv_gw_get_best_gw_node — and it literally retrieves the best gateway node based on the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV metric and the configured GW selection class. main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the function signature is giving exactly this:

struct batadv_gw_node * batadv_iv_gw_get_best_gw_node (struct
batadv_priv *bat_priv );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. that's the arg, bestie 🫶

💖 RETURN 💖

you get the gateway node with the highest score for the current selection class, or NULL if no eligible gateway exists. no cap 😭
