🦋 batadv_mcast_mla_flags_update (9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🦋

okay so bestie, you're holding a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities" energy. no cap. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_mcast_mla_flags_update — update multicast flags 🌈

like, that's literally the whole name and the whole vibe. she updates. the flags. multicast ones. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void batadv_mcast_mla_flags_update (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv ,
struct batadv_mcast_mla_flags *flags );

so she's a void function, meaning she doesn't hand you anything back — she just does the thing to the world and leaves. main character behavior fr fr 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 💖 this is the big one, she's carrying everything about the mesh interface, she's basically the group chat admin of this whole operation
  • flags — flags indicating the new multicast state ✨ these save all the new multicast info, so yeah, flags is lowkey the whole point

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Updates the own multicast tvlv with our current multicast related settings, capabilities and inabilities.

that's it. that's the tea 🍓

like — she takes our current settings, our capabilities and — yes bestie — *our inabilities too (we're honest here, no fake flexing 💀) and she folds all of that into the own multicast tvlv. glow-up for the tvlv, respectfully 🫶

ngl there's no return value to check and no error path listed here, so don't come for me asking "what if it fails" — the page only tells you what it tells you, and I'm not out here inventing lore 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this is the part where the manpage flexes her entire friend group. and by "friend group" I mean the Kernel file ./net/batman-adv/multicast.c, plus literally all of these:

like... the whole multicast.c cast list, no crumbs left on the plate, ate and left zero notes 🔥 iykyk 🧚
