📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 batadv_v_hardif_init — like, the Kernel API Manual era ✨

Okay so bestie, we're in the kernel docs rn — this page is batadv_v_hardif_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally a one-job little function. No drama, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_v_hardif_init — initialize the algorithm specific fields in the hard-interface object 🦋

Like, that's the whole vibe. It wakes up the algorithm-specific bits inside the hard-interface object so they're not just sitting there being nothing. Main character behavior only. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void batadv_v_hardif_init (struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface );

Notice it returns void — it's giving "I do the work, I don't need to report back" energy. 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • hard_iface — the hard-interface to initialize. This is the one (1) thing you gotta hand her. She'll do the rest. 🫶

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

The kernel file lives at ./net/batman-adv/bat_v.c, and here's the whole friend group — every single one of them, no gatekeeping:

That's the whole squad, iykyk. 🌈

Ngl this one's short and sweet — no warnings, no bugs, no exit statuses, just a tidy little init function doing her thing. Periodt. 💜

And that's the page, bestie! This iconic lil' slice of kernel lore comes from ./net/batman-adv, dated October 2026, and it's filed under batadv_v_hardif_init(9) — go off, kernel docs, we love to see it. 🧚🍓⭐
