batadv_neig...et_or_create(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for batadv_neigh_node_get_or_create(9) — yes, the header gets a little dramatic and truncates it as batadv_neig...et_or_create(9), but we’re using the full name here 💅. the function is literally batadv_neigh_node_get_or_create, and it does the thing: retrieve or create a neigh node object. periodt 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, served fresh:

struct batadv_neigh_node * batadv_neigh_node_get_or_create (struct
batadv_orig_node *orig_node , struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface ,
const u8 *neigh_addr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• orig_node — originator object representing the neighbour.
• hard_iface — the interface where the neighbour is connected to.
• neigh_addr — the mac address of the neighbour interface.

💖 RETURN 💖

the return tea is literally: the neighbour node if found or created or NULL otherwise. no cap 🫶
