💅 batadv_send_no_broadcast(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for batadv_send_no_broadcast(9) — yes the whole manual name is a vibe, we're in the kernel docs now 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_send_no_broadcast — the lil check that tells you whether a (re)broadcast is actually necessary 👀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool batadv_send_no_broadcast (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , struct
       sk_buff *skb , bool own_packet , struct batadv_hard_iface *if_out );

it hands you back a bool, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bat_priv — the bat priv, aka the icon holding all the mesh interface information 👑
• skb — the broadcast packet we're checking, main character energy fr
• own_packet — true if it's a self-generated broadcast packet (you made this one, slay 💅)
• if_out — the outgoing interface that got checked and considered for (re)broadcast 🌈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• False — if a packet needs to be (re)broadcasted on the given interface 😭
• true — otherwise 💖

like, it's giving reverse logic but we move 🧚
