🎀 NAME 🎀

batadv_tvlv_handler_get — retrieve a tvlv handler from the tvlv handler list, based on the provided type and version (and yes, both need to match, no cap)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct batadv_tvlv_handler * batadv_tvlv_handler_get (struct batadv_priv
*bat_priv , u8 type , u8 version );

short and sweet, honestly. love that for us 🫶

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• bat_priv — the bat priv that's holding all the mesh interface information 💜 this is your main character struct
• type — the tvlv handler type we're looking for 👀
• version — the tvlv handler version we're looking for ⭐️

remembeh: type AND version both gotta match. it's giving "must have both keys to unlock" 🔑
