πŸ’… batadv_send..._tt_response(9) β€” the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this page is from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about one glowy lil function called batadv_send_other_tt_response. no cap, it's niche, but it's iconic niche. let's get into it πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

batadv_send_other_tt_response β€” literally just sends a reply to a tt request that's about another node's translation table. like, not mine, not yours, theirs. it's giving helpful middleman energy 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool batadv_send_other_tt_response (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv ,
struct batadv_tvlv_tt_data *tt_data , u8 *req_src , u8 *req_dst );

yes she returns a bool, yes she takes four args, yes the formatting is a whole vibe. moving on πŸ’…


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • bat_priv β€” the bat priv that's holding all the mesh interface info. this is the main character of the parameter list, lowkey. πŸ‘‘
  • tt_data β€” the tt data, and it's the one carrying the actual tt request info. it's giving "i come bearing context". πŸŽ€
  • req_src β€” the mac address of whoever sent the tt request. the sender, the originator, the one who knocked. πŸ™ˆ
  • req_dst β€” the mac address of whoever the tt request is for. the recipient, the intended, the one being asked about. ⭐

✨ RETURN ✨

returns true if the tt request reply actually got sent, and false otherwise. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. βœ…/❌

fr fr that's the entire return contract β€” no hidden lore, no extra statuses, just a straight yes-or-no on whether the reply went out.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay so this is the part where the page absolutely dumps the entire translation-table friend group on you. it's a lot. it's giving group chat with 100 unread messages. but every single one is here, so nobody gets left on read πŸ’–
