like, it takes a bat_priv and a vid and hands you back a struct batadv_meshif_vlan *. simple. iconic. no cap 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 🫶 this is the main character, it's holding everything
• vid — the identifier of the vlan object to retrieve 🌈 give it the vid, it finds the vlan, periodt
