🌸 batadv_mcast_forw_rtr_count(9) 🌸

okay so you're in the Kernel API Manual bestie, welcome, this one's a little cutie that literally just counts things 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_mcast_forw_rtr_count — count nodes with a multicast router 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int batadv_mcast_forw_rtr_count (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , int
protocol );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• bat_priv — the bat priv, aka the whole vibe container holding all the mesh interface information 🫶
• protocol — the ethernet protocol type you're counting multicast routers for

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it gives you back the number of nodes that want all routable IPv4 multicast traffic if the protocol is ETH_P_IP, or the number of nodes that want all routable IPv6 traffic if the protocol is ETH_P_IPV6. and if it's literally anything else? you get 0. that's it. nothing. zero. 💀
