batadv_recv_handler_init(9)

💅 batadv_recv_handler_init(9) — straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: it's giving kernel-internals era, and we're looking at batadv_recv_handler_init(9). yes, the (9) means it lives in the kernel API section, we love a section-9 moment 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_recv_handler_init — literally just initialises the RX handler dispatch table. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void batadv_recv_handler_init (void );

no cap, that's the entire signature. returns void, takes nothing. clean. iconic. periodt. 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• void — no arguments. not a single one. she takes nothing and she gives everything 😭💖

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what she actually does: she initialises every single entry of the RX handler table — each one gets set either to "unhandled" or to one of the protocol independent handlers. every. single. entry. no skipping, no leaving one blank on accident 🙈

and that's not all, bestie — she also performs compile-time size sanity checks on all the on-wire packet structs. like, at compile time. before anything even runs. making sure the struct sizes actually make sense so your packets don't come out cursed later 💀

lowkey important: that's void, so there's nothing to pass in and nothing to check on the way out. just call her and let her cook. 🍓
