💅 batadv_tt_local_dump_entry

ok so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's about one very specific little function in the batman-adv translation table code. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_tt_local_dump_entry — dump one TT local entry into a message 🫶

like, literally take a single local translation-table entry and yeet it into a netlink message. that's the whole job. iconic behaviour honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int batadv_tt_local_dump_entry (struct sk_buff *msg , u32 portid ,
       struct netlink_callback *cb , struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , struct
       batadv_tt_common_entry *common );

five arguments, returns an int, no cap 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • msg — the Netlink message you're dumping into. this is the ✨destination✨, the lil envelope your entry gets shoved into.
  • portid — the port that's making the netlink request. iykyk, it's the "who asked" field.
  • cb — the control block, which is carrying all the extra options along for the ride 🎀
  • bat_priv — the bat priv, aka the thing holding all the mesh interface information. main character energy fr fr.
  • common — the tt local & tt global common data. yes, both — it's the shared bit. 💜
