batadv_v_elp_iface_activate(9)

💖 batadv_v_elp_iface_activate 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for batadv_v_elp_iface_activate from the Kernel API Manual — yes that manual, the one that lives in the kernel tree and doesn't text back. it's a function from batman-adv (that's the batman advanced mesh networking situation, iykyk) and honestly? it's giving "small but crucial." let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_v_elp_iface_activate — update the ELP buffer belonging to the given hard-interface

like, that's the whole gig. it takes an ELP buffer that's chillin' on some hard-interface and it updates it. no cap, that's the vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void batadv_v_elp_iface_activate (struct batadv_hard_iface
*primary_iface , struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface );

look at her. void return, so she doesn't hand anything back — she just does the thing and dips. two args, both pointers, both struct batadv_hard_iface. periodt. 💅

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• primary_iface — the new primary interface 👑 this is the fresh main-character interface stepping into the role, and the function needs to know who it is.
• hard_iface — interface holding the to-be-updated buffer 🫶 this one's literally carrying the buffer that's about to get refreshed. she's the one getting the glow-up.

two homies walk into a function, one of them is the new primary, the other one's holding the update-able buffer. that's the whole plot. ⭐

💡 reminder: these are kernel-doc style (9) references, so they're pointing at other kernel functions/structs, not at section 9 of your regular manpages. don't come for me, that's just how the kernel rolls. 🙈

and that's the page!! short, sweet, and absolutely iconic. 🍓
