📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 batadv_netlink_set_hardif(9) — a lil page from the Kernel API Manual bestie

okay so real talk, this is one of those kernel-doc pages from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly giving "small function, big friend group" energy. It's batadv_netlink_set_hardif, and yes she's a kernel symbol so she does have a manual page, slay.

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_netlink_set_hardif — Set hardif attributes 💅 that's it, that's the whole vibe. She sets attributes on a hardif. Iconic behaviour tbh.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int batadv_netlink_set_hardif (struct sk_buff *skb , struct genl_info
*info );

like look at her. returns an int, takes two pointers, does her little thing. no cap. 🎀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • skb — the Netlink message with the request data inside it. it's the whole reason we're here, the main character of the packet world fr fr 📨
  • info — the receiver information. it's giving "who's asking and what do they want", and we love her for it 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns 0 on success, or a negative error number if it didn't work out 😭 that's it. binary mood: either slaying or a negative errno. no in-between.

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay this is the part where she tags the whole group chat in. literally everyone's here, iykyk 👑

Also peep the kernel file ./net/batman-adv/netlink.c and enum, and then:

every single one, accounted for. not me being thorough 💀✨

heads up bestie: this page is generated from the kernel source in ./net/batman-adv, and the version we're looking at is dated October 2026. so if the calendar says otherwise, that's just how the kernel docs roll, don't come for me 🙈

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 go forth and set those hardif attributes, you absolute legend 🌈🍓🧚
