batadv_set_bit(9)
π batadv_set_bit(9) β like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie π
Okay so picture this: it's a batadv_set_bit(9) situation, the manual is Kernel API Manual flavored, and we're about to flip one (1) single bit. That's it. That's the whole gig. And honestly? Iconic.
β¨ NAME β¨
batadv_set_bit β turn corresponding bit on, so we can remember that we got the packet π«Ά
Like, that's literally the entire personality. You set the bit, you remember the packet. Memory unlocked, bestie.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void batadv_set_bit (unsigned long *seq_bits , s32 n );
No return value, no drama, no exit status. It's void and it knows it. π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
seq_bitsβ the bitmap of the packet receive window. Think of it as the group chat of packets: this is where the receipts live, and you're about to mark one as received. πnβ the relative sequence number of the newly received packet. It'ss32, it's relative, and it's pointing at which bit we're about to turn on. Slay.
Heads up bestie: n is the relative sequence number, not some absolute one. Keep that straight and you're golden. β¨
