✨ batadv_iv_ogm_emit(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a kernel function page and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_iv_ogm_emit — emit an (aggregated) OGM packet 💌

like, literally just send the thing out. that's the whole job. iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void batadv_iv_ogm_emit (struct batadv_forw_packet *forw_packet );

that's it. one argument. no drama. no cap. ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • forw_packet — the forward packet that should be emitted 💖 this is the little guy that's gonna get sent. it's your main character rn.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea, bestie 🍵 the forw_packet will be emitted — but it will not be consumed. meaning: we send it, we don't eat it. it's still yours after. not me being generous with your data structures 😭

and the vibe check on the interface: when the interface is no longer active, the transmission will be skipped ⚠️ like, she's asleep, don't wake her, no packet for you. so if nothing comes out the other end, check your interface first, iykyk 💀

fr fr keep that in mind — inactive interface = no send. not a bug, just the rules 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

omg okay this is the long part, buckle up bestie, we're going on a tour of literally every related function in ./net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c 🧚‍♀️✨ no skipping, we don't do that here 👑

and the kernel file herself: ./net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c 📁💖

like, that's a whole friend group right there. ate. 🔥

okay that's the whole page bestie, you understood it, I'm so proud of you 🥹💜 this dropped from ./net/batman-adv back in October 2026 under the title batadv_iv_ogm_emit(9) — so go forth, emit your (aggregated) OGM packets responsibly, and slay ✨👑🌸
