🦋 batadv_orig_node_new(9) — Kernel API Manual 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the batadv_orig_node_new(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — it’s giving “tiny create-a-thing function with main character energy” and we’re gonna read it together, no cap. ✨

💖 NAME 💖

batadv_orig_node_new — creates a new orig_node. literally that’s the job. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct batadv_orig_node * batadv_orig_node_new (struct batadv_priv
*bat_priv , const u8 *addr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. yes bestie, all of it. 🫶
• addr — the mac address of the originator. iconic little identity card. 💌

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Creates a new originator object and initialises all the generic fields. The new object is not added to the originator list — so don’t go hunting for it in the list, because that is literally not what this function does, periodt. 💀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

the newly created object or NULL on failure. that’s it, that’s the return vibe. 😭
