batadv_mcast_start_timer(9)

✨ batadv_mcast_start_timer(9) ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual's name, it's giving very official 💅) and it's about exactly one tiny little function that does exactly one tiny little thing. but bestie, it's an important tiny thing. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_mcast_start_timer — schedule the multicast periodic worker 🕐✨

like, you're literally setting a timer so the multicast worker wakes up and does its lil periodic duties. slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void batadv_mcast_start_timer (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv );

notice the void?? it returns nothing. it's a vibe-only function, no return value, no cap. 🎀

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 🦋 this is the big ol' struct that knows everything about your mesh interface, and you're handing it over so the timer knows which mesh to bother. iconic behavior honestly.

🌸 okay that's the whole page!! short and sweet, just like this function. this cutie came from ./net/batman-adv, dated October 2026, and it's the batadv_mcast_start_timer(9) page. go schedule something, bestie 💖✨🎀
