batadv_tt_local_remove(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 batadv_tt_local_remove(9) 💅

ok so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes bestie, the actual kernel docs, we're in the big leagues now 🎀 — and it's all about batadv_tt_local_remove, which logically removes an entry from the local table. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it looks like it deletes something, but it's a logical removal, so the entry isn't gone-gone, it's just… marked. we'll get to that.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u16 batadv_tt_local_remove (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , const u8
*addr , unsigned short vid , const char *message , bool roaming );

it's giving "returns a u16" — and spoiler, that return value is kind of the whole point. keep reading 💖

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. think of it as the main character of the mesh: it's holding literally everything you need to know about the interface 🌈
  • addr — the MAC address of the client to remove. like, which client. pinpoint it, bestie 💅
  • vid — VLAN identifier. yes, VLANs. we love a network with layers 🎀
  • message — message to append to the log on deletion. so when this entry gets yeeted, your little note rides along in the log. it's giving "left a signed note on the way out" 😭
  • roaming — true if the deletion is due to a roaming event. so like, if this client just wandered off to another node, you flag it here 🦋

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the flags assigned to the local entry before being deleted. that's the tea 🔥 — you get the flags as they were pre-deletion, so you can still see what the entry was rocking before it got logically removed.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

ok this list is long long — but every single one is here, no skips, no "etc.", we're thorough in this household 👑
