💖 batadv_orig_router_get 💖

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for batadv_orig_router_get(9) — literally the “router to the originator depending on iface” function. no cap, it's giving networking main character energy, and we're gonna get through it together bestie 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_orig_router_get — router to the originator depending on iface.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct batadv_neigh_node * batadv_orig_router_get (struct
batadv_orig_node *orig_node , const struct batadv_hard_iface
*if_outgoing );

that's the signature exactly, line wraps and all — don't let it scare you 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• orig_node — the orig node for the router. that's the one we're asking about, periodt.
• if_outgoing — the interface where the payload packet has been received or the OGM should be sent to. yes, that interface.

💅 RETURN 💅

the neighbor which should be the router for this orig_node/iface. that's the whole vibe check, bestie.

the object is returned with refcounter increased by 1. heads up — that's the refcount tea ☕: the object comes back with its refcounter bumped by exactly 1. no extra lore on this page, fr fr.
