batadv_iv_og...it_send_time(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🦋 NAME 🦋

ok so bestie, this is batadv_iv_ogm_emit_send_time — from the Kernel API Manual, no cap — and what it does is literally calculate the jiffies when an own OGM should be sent next. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned long batadv_iv_ogm_emit_send_time (const struct batadv_priv
*bat_priv );

like, you hand it a bat_priv and it hands you back an unsigned long. that's the trade. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. yes queen, it wants the whole thing, all the mesh interface info is in there 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — the next emission point is the configured orig_interval, but randomised by +/- BATADV_JITTER milliseconds. why? to reduce the chance of potential collisions between neighbours, periodt. it's giving "everyone don't talk at the exact same time challenge" and honestly it ate 💅✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns a jiffies value when the next OGM should be transmitted — that's your timestamp bestie, go off 🕐👑

ngl bestie, this page lives in ./net/batman-adv and it's dated October 2026 — so when you're reading it, just know the manual itself is batadv_iv_og...it_send_time(9), yes the title is truncated in the header, that's just how it's shipped, don't come for me 😭💀

ok bye ily, go schedule those OGMs responsibly 🧚‍♀️🌸💜
