💅 batadv_v_elp_iface_enable — the kernel API manual page, bestie edition

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_v_elp_iface_enable — setup the ELP interface private resources 💖

like literally, it gets the ELP interface's private resources all prepped and ready. that's the whole job, and it ate, no notes.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int batadv_v_elp_iface_enable (struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface );

so you call it, you hand it a struct batadv_hard_iface * called hard_iface, and it gives you back an int. that's the contract, periodt 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hard_iface — the interface for which the data has to be prepared. like, this is the interface, the main character of this function call 👑 everything gets set up for this one.

---

💜 RETURN 💜

• 0 — success bestie!! slay, it worked ✨
• -ENOMEM — the failure case, in case of failure. basically the memory said "no ❤️" and bailed on you 😭

ngl, -ENOMEM is never the vibe, but at least you know exactly what went wrong. no guessing games here 🙈
