💅 batadv_iv_ogm_neigh_new — Kernel API Manual, section 9 🦋

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're diving into the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV neighbour situation and honestly? it's giving main character energy. this is page batadv_iv_ogm_neigh_new(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and no cap, it's a little function with a big job. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_iv_ogm_neigh_new — retrieve or create a B.A.T.M.A.N. IV neighbour 💖

like, it either finds you the neighbour you're looking for or it makes a whole new one. iconic behaviour honestly.

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

struct batadv_neigh_node * batadv_iv_ogm_neigh_new (struct
batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface , const u8 *neigh_addr , struct
batadv_orig_node *orig_node );

that's the whole vibe. it hands you back a struct batadv_neigh_node *, and you take it from there. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hard_iface — the interface where the neighbour is connected to. like, which doorway this neighbour actually came through. 🚪
  • neigh_addr — the mac address of the neighbour. their literal identifying info, bestie. const u8 *, so don't you dare go changing it. 🙈
  • orig_node — the originator object representing the neighbour. yes it's a whole object. we love an organised queen. 👑

🔥 RETURN 🔥

it gives you back a pointer to the neigh_node — or NULL in case of failure. 😭 so like, always check, okay? don't just assume it slayed.
