📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 batadv_iv_ogm_calc_tq ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the batadv_iv_ogm_calc_tq(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — like, the kernel API manual, not the regular one, keep up 🫶. This one's a whole function, and it is literally the vibe check for your OGM packets. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_iv_ogm_calc_tq — calculate tq for current received ogm packet 💖

that's it, that's the whole name. tq stands for transmit quality btw (iykyk), and this function is out here computing it for the ogm packet you just received. no cap. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

okay here's the signature, copied exactly because I do not play about signatures 😤

bool batadv_iv_ogm_calc_tq (struct batadv_orig_node *orig_node , struct
batadv_orig_node *orig_neigh_node , struct batadv_ogm_packet
*batadv_ogm_packet , struct batadv_hard_iface *if_incoming , struct
batadv_hard_iface *if_outgoing );

returns a bool, takes five pointers. five. she's high maintenance and honestly? iconic 👑

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

every single one, bestie, in order, no skips 🙈

  • orig_node — the orig node who originally emitted the ogm packet 🌟 like the actual origin of the whole thing, the main character of this packet's story.
  • orig_neigh_node — the orig node struct of the neighbor who sent the packet 🫶 lowkey the difference between these two is everything: one emitted it, the other sent it to you. two different nodes, two different jobs.
  • batadv_ogm_packet — the ogm packet 📦 the actual packet, the payload, the reason we're all here.
  • if_incoming — interface where the packet was received 🎀 the door it came through.
  • if_outgoing — interface for which the retransmission should be considered 🔥 the door it would go back out of. yes, it's a whole thing.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • true — if the link can be considered bidirectional ✨ slay, the link goes both ways, we love a mutual situation 💖
  • false — otherwise 😭 not bidirectional, not today.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long long, but I promised I wouldn't skip anything, so buckle up bestie, we're going through all of it 🧚

that's the whole page bestie, go forth and calculate some tq 🦋💖
