💅 batadv_tt_global_dump_entry(9) 💅

okay so real talk, bestie — this is the manual page for batadv_tt_global_dump_entry from the kernel API manual (the (9) section, that's the kernel internals one, very backstage-pass energy 🎟️✨).

seq , struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , struct batadv_tt_common_entry
*common , int *sub_s );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • msg — the netlink message you're dumping into 💌 like, this is the envelope, the whole point
  • portid — the port making the netlink request, iykyk who's asking
  • seq — the sequence number of the netlink message 🔢 gotta keep the order right or it's chaos
  • bat_priv — the bat priv holding all the mesh interface information 👑 the big boss struct with everything in it
  • common — the tt local & tt global common data, shared data for both sides of the TT universe
  • sub_s — number of entries to skip ⏭️ (it's a pointer to an int, so yes, it can vibe-check you back)
