💅 batadv_mcast_flags_dump

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about batadv_mcast_flags_dump — yes that's a whole mouthful, i promise it's worth it 🫶

literally all this icon does is dump the multicast flags table to a netlink socket. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she takes the table, she yeets it into a netlink socket, done, slay ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int batadv_mcast_flags_dump (struct sk_buff *msg , struct
       netlink_callback *cb );

like, that's the signature, no cap. int coming back at you, two args going in 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • msg — the buffer for the message. this is where the message lives, bestie. it's the little home the message gets written into 🏠
  • cb — the callback structure containing arguments. yep, the args are in there. it's giving "everything you need is in the callback" energy 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns the message length. that's it. that's the number. periodt 💀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

so there's a lot here, and honestly? iconic. the whole batman-adv multicast extended family showed up to the group chat 🌈

kernel file: /net/batman-adv/multicast.c

like… go read them. they're all right there. iykyk 🔥

real talk though — this page is short. literally four sections and a return value. don't go looking for hidden warnings or exit statuses, there aren't any, and i'm not about to invent them for clout 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! no crumbs left 🍓

this one came from the kernel source at ./net/batman-adv, dated October 2026 — shoutout to the kernel doc build for serving it up, she ate and left no notes 👑💖
