💅 batadv_neigh_node_get(9)

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the manual name, she's official 💖 — and it's literally all about grabbing one (1) neighbour out of a list. bestie, let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_neigh_node_get — retrieve a neighbour from the list 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct batadv_neigh_node * batadv_neigh_node_get (const struct
batadv_orig_node *orig_node , const struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface
, const u8 *addr );

like, that's the whole vibe check right there 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • orig_node — the originator that this neighbour belongs to. it's giving "whose friend group are we even looking in" energy 🦋
  • hard_iface — the interface this neighbour is connected through. the actual physical situation, no cap 💅
  • addr — the address of the neighbour. yes, that address, the one you're hunting for 🔥

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what it does: it goes looking — and possibly returns — a neighbour that belongs to this originator's list, the one connected through the hard interface you handed it. that's it, that's the plot. lowkey iconic for how focused it is 😭✨

👑 RETURN 👑

returns the neighbor when found. otherwise NULL 💀 (yes, "neighbor" with no u, that's how the original spells it, respect the spelling fr fr)
