✨ batadv_mcast_mla_meshif_get_ipv6 💅

okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual bestie — yes that Kernel API Manual — and it's the glow-up of batadv_mcast...hif_get_ipv6(9) (the terminal's just being dramatic and truncating the name, don't worry about it 🫶).

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_mcast_mla_meshif_get_ipv6 — get meshif IPv6 multicast listeners. that's the whole vibe. it collects them, that's what it does ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int batadv_mcast_mla_meshif_get_ipv6 (struct net_device *dev , struct
hlist_head *mcast_list , struct batadv_mcast_mla_flags *flags );

look at her. three params. main character energy fr 😭

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the device to collect multicast addresses from. like, the mesh interface we're digging through. it's giving "source material" 💜
  • mcast_list — a list to put found addresses into. the little basket 🧺 where the found addresses go. so cozy.
  • flags — flags indicating the new multicast state. the state-of-the-union flags, basically. keep up.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what it does: it collects multicast addresses of IPv6 multicast listeners residing on this kernel on the given mesh interface, dev, in the given mcast_list. like it goes and gathers up all the IPv6 multicast listeners living on this kernel for that mesh interface and drops them into your list. slay 💅

And in general, bestie — key detail — the multicast listeners provided by your multicast receiving applications run directly on this node. so yeah. that's the whole tea. local listeners, local node, no cap. 🌈

👑 RETURN 👑

  • -ENOMEM — when memory allocation goes wrong 😭 that's the only error listed, periodt.
  • otherwise → the number of items added to the mcast_list ✨

okay this list is LONG, she's an icon, she knows everyone. buckle up bestie 🎀:

ngl that's a lot of friends but every single one of them got an invite 💌 don't skip any, iykyk.
