batadv_netlink_set_mesh(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for batadv_netlink_set_mesh(9). yes we're reading kernel docs together, this is our bonding era 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_netlink_set_mesh — it sets meshif attributes. that's it, that's the whole personality. lowkey iconic for a function to just say what it does 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

like yes she takes exactly two arguments and returns an int, no she will not be elaborating 🌸

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • skb — the netlink message carrying the request data. this is the actual tea being delivered ☕ like the whole request payload lives in here.
  • info — the receiver information. basically the "who's asking and where do i send the reply" deets 🎀

💖 RETURN 💖

0 on success — slay, we love a clean return 🎉

or a negative error number if it fails 😭 not every netlink call gets to be a success story, and that's okay.
