💅 batadv_iv_orig_ifinfo_sum(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the batman-adv kernel code and you need to know how many broadcast OGMs a specific originator sent that got boomeranged right back to you by a specific interface. that's literally this function. welcome. this is the batadv_iv_orig_ifinfo_sum page from the Kernel API Manual and we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_iv_orig_ifinfo_sum — get the bcast_own sum for an originator over an interface 💖

like... the whole point. the vibe. the sum of bcast_own. iconic.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u8 batadv_iv_orig_ifinfo_sum (struct batadv_orig_node *orig_node ,
struct batadv_hard_iface *if_outgoing );

she takes two args and hands you back a u8. short king. no cap 🧚

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• orig_node — the originator that reproadcasted the OGMs directly. yeah, that's how the page spells it (reproadcasted), we're not gonna touch it, it's canon now 💀
• if_outgoing — the interface that transmitted the original OGM and received the direct rebroadcast. she's doing double duty and honestly? slay 💅

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the number of replied (rebroadcasted) OGMs that were transmitted by an originator and directly — meaning without an intermediate hop — received by a specific interface 🔥

so: a count, and it's a u8, and it's specifically the "no middlemen allowed" count. periodt.

note bestie: no intermediate hop. directly. don't forget the directly. that's the whole personality of this function 🙈
