💖 batadv_v_neigh_dump(9) 💖

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie — it's the docs for batadv_v_neigh_dump, one of the batman-adv crew. no cap, it's icon.

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_v_neigh_dump — dumps the neighbours of a hard interface into a message 🫶

like, it takes all the neighbour info and yeets it into a netlink message for you. iconic behaviour honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void batadv_v_neigh_dump (struct sk_buff *msg , struct netlink_callback *cb , struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , struct batadv_hard_iface *single_hardif );

the way that signature is just sitting there being all void and four-arguments-long… main character energy fr fr. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • msg — the netlink message you're dumping into 💌 — this is where all the neighbour tea gets poured.
  • cb — the control block, and it's carrying the extra options around like a little purse. 🎀
  • bat_priv — the bat priv holding all the mesh interface info. yes, all of it. she's the whole vibe check of the mesh. ✨
  • single_hardif — if you pass this, the dump is limited to just this one hard interface. lowkey a "we're only talking about this one" moment. 🎯

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

over in the kernel file ./net/batman-adv/bat_v.c you'll find the whole friend group — go say hi 💖:

ngl if you're reading this at 3am debugging a mesh, drink some water and slay, bestie 🍓
