batadv_netlink_tp_meter_put(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this page is straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's about one tiny little function that does one tiny little job and honestly? it ate. 🫶 It's batadv_netlink_tp_meter_put(9), it lives in the batman-adv kernel world, and its whole personality is "fill in the info about a tp_meter session that just got started." No cap, that's it, that's the function. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_netlink_tp_meter_put — Fill information of started tp_meter session 💫

Like, it literally fills the info for a tp_meter session that has already been started. Iconic, minimal, does what it says on the tin.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int batadv_netlink_tp_meter_put (struct sk_buff *msg , u32 cookie );

the way that signature is just sitting there. int in the front, two args in the back, periodt. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • msg — the netlink message to be sent back 🌸 like, this is the message that's gonna get shipped back out, and our function's whole job is helping fill it.
  • cookie — the tp meter session cookie 🍪 not the edible kind, bestie, the tracking kind — the cookie that says which tp meter session we're talking about.

💖 RETURN 💖

  • 0 on success 🔥
  • < 0 on error 💀

that's the whole vibe check: zero means we're slaying, anything less than zero means something went sideways.

ngl if you see a value < 0 coming back, that's the function telling you it did not go well. no notes, just facts.
