📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 batadv_tvlv_container_register(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 💖

ok so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (that's the kernel-functions section, iykyk), and the star of the show is batadv_tvlv_container_register</p> — which, no cap, is the function that registers a tvlv type, version and content so it gets propagated with every (primary interface) OGM. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void batadv_tvlv_container_register (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , u8
type , u8 version , void *tvlv_value , u16 tvlv_value_len );

that's the whole signature, character for character, bestie. don't come for me about the line breaks — they're canon 🎀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information. it's giving "main character holding every detail of the mesh" energy 👑
  • type — tvlv container type
  • version — tvlv container version
  • tvlv_value — tvlv container content
  • tvlv_value_len — tvlv container content length

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: if a container of the same type and version was already registered, the new content is going to replace the old one. periodt. no drama, no merge, just out-with-the-old 💅

lowkey important: same type + same version = the new content replaces the old one. that's the whole rule, fr fr.

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

the kernel file lives at ./net/batman-adv/tvlv.c, and it's surrounded by a whole friend group of functions — every single one, in order, no skips:

go read them all, bestie, they ate 🔥

and that's the page!! mwah 🫶 this lil beauty comes from ./net/batman-adv, dated October 2026, and it's filed under batadv_tvlv_...ner_register(9) in the Kernel API Manual. bye babes, go register some containers 💖✨🎀
