batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate_new(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate_new(9) — like, the kernel API manual, bestie ✨

okay so this is a page from the batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate_new(9) manual in the kernel API docs, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities." buckle up 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate_new — creates a brand-new aggregated packet and then adds this packet to it. that's it, that's the whole gig 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate_new (const unsigned char *packet_buff , int
packet_len , unsigned long send_time , bool direct_link , struct
batadv_hard_iface *if_incoming , struct batadv_hard_iface *if_outgoing ,
int own_packet );

it returns a bool, bestie. remember that, it comes back later 👀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • packet_buff — pointer to the OGM. yes, the actual packet, right there ✨
  • packet_len — the (total) length of the OGM. note the "total" — the doc says total, so we say total 💅
  • send_time — timestamp in jiffies for when the packet is supposed to be sent 🕐
  • direct_link — whether this OGM has direct link status or not 🫶
  • if_incoming — the interface where the packet was received
  • if_outgoing — the interface for which the retransmission should be considered 👑
  • own_packet — true if it's a self-generated ogm. main character packet energy fr fr

🌈 RETURN 🌈

it tells you whether the forward packet was scheduled. that's the whole answer — a yes/no vibe check on the forwarding situation 💀
