💅 batadv_tt_local_init(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — specifically the page for batadv_tt_local_init, which is lowkey the glitter-glue step that holds the whole local translation table together. it's giving "i'm just the setup function" but honestly? without her, nothing else in this file works. main character energy, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_tt_local_init — allocate and initialise the local translation table 🦋

like, she mallocs the thing AND sets it up all cute in one go. two jobs, one function, she ate. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int batadv_tt_local_init (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv );

one parameter, one int back. simple. elegant. iconic. ⭐

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information 💖 this is the big one, bestie — it's carrying literally every bit of info about the mesh interface, so handle her with care.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 on success 🎉 — she slayed, table is allocated and initialised
  • -ENOMEM in case of allocation failure 😭 — the allocator said no and the whole thing bails
ngl, -ENOMEM is never a vibe, but at least she tells you exactly why she's upset instead of just ghosting you. 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./net/batman-adv/translation-table.c — that's her home address, go say hi 💜

and now, the guest list 💀 (it's long. it's a lot. it's giving group project where everyone showed up):

periodt. that's the whole squad. 💀✨

and that's the page bestie!! 🎀 this one's from the source tree at ./net/batman-adv, dated October 2026, and it lives in the Kernel API Manual. go forth and init your tables, ily, bye!! 💖🦋👑
