📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for batadv_mcast_have_mc_ptype_update(9) — yes, the whole page is about one counter updater and it's lowkey iconic 💖

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_mcast_have_mc_ptype_update — update multicast packet type counter. periodt 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void batadv_mcast_have_mc_ptype_update (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv ,
       struct batadv_orig_node *orig , u8 mcast_flags );

it's a void function, so there's no return value to catch — it just does its counter-update thing ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 🫶
  • orig — the orig_node whose multicast state might have changed, aka the orig in question 👑
  • mcast_flags — flags indicating the new multicast state 🌸

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the vibe: if the BATADV_MCAST_HAVE_MC_PTYPE_CAPA flag of this originator, orig, has toggled, then this method updates the counter accordingly. no cap, that's the whole glow-up 🔥
