batadv_netl...meter_notify(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for batadv_netl...meter_notify(9) — yes the title's got that truncation moment, it's giving "my name is too long for the tab bar" energy, and honestly? Relatable. 🎀

batadv_netlink_tpmeter_notify — send tp_meter result via netlink to client 💌

That's the whole vibe. The throughput meter did its little thing, the numbers came in, and now somebody has to actually tell the client about it. That somebody is this function. Main character energy fr fr. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int batadv_netlink_tpmeter_notify (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , const
       u8 *dst , u8 result , u32 test_time , u64 total_bytes , u32 cookie );

Six arguments, one return value, zero chill. Let's go through them one by one because every single one matters. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. It's literally the whole mesh's business, all bundled up — every interface detail lives here. 👑
  • dst — destination of the tp_meter session. Like, where the session was pointed. 📍
  • result — reason for the tp_meter session stop. Why did the session end? This u8 is holding the receipts. 🧾
  • test_time — total time of the tp_meter session. The u32 clock on the whole thing. ⏱️
  • total_bytes — bytes acked to the receiver. That's a u64, because bytes get big, bestie. 🍓
  • cookie — cookie of the tp_meter session. Not a snack (sadly 🍪), just the session's lil identifier so everybody knows which session we're talking about. 🎀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

0 on success, < 0 on error.

That's it. That's the whole return section. Zero means slay, negative means something went sideways. 💀

Kernel file ./net/batman-adv/netlink.c and enum batadv_netlink_multicast_groups(9)

Then the whole friend group, alphabetically-adjacent and long, but I'm not skipping a single one because they're all icons:

Not me listing thirty-two SEE ALSO entries and loving every second of it. The cross-reference game is strong here, iykyk. 💅
