🦋 batadv_v_iface_activate(9) 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for batadv_v_iface_activate(9) — the finalise-the-activation moment for a hard interface. It’s short, it’s iconic, and it has exactly zero time for extra drama. 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

void batadv_v_iface_activate (struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: batadv_v_iface_activate() is the finalise-the-activation step for a hard interface. It reuses the currently selected primary interface to seed the ELP packet, and then it immediately activates the interface. That’s the vibe. No extra flags, no secret side quests on this page — just that exact energy. 💫
