batadv_v_ogm_process(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

batadv_v_ogm_process — bestie, this is the function that processes an incoming batman v OGM ✨ (yes, that's "batman" the mesh protocol, not the guy with the cape, though honestly both are giving main character energy 🦋)

So real quick — we're deep in the Kernel API Manual, and this page is all about batadv_v_ogm_process(9). Grab a strawberry drink 🍓, we're about to read some kernel source together.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void batadv_v_ogm_process (const struct sk_buff *skb , int ogm_offset ,
       struct batadv_hard_iface *if_incoming );

No cap, that's the whole signature. Three little args, one big job 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • skb — the skb that's literally carrying the OGM. It's the whole packet, the moment, the vibe check 🫶
  • ogm_offset — the offset to the OGM that should actually get processed. Lowkey important because of aggregates — like, one packet can hold several OGMs, so you gotta point at the right one, iykyk ✨
  • if_incoming — the interface where this packet was received. Her origin story 🌈 which door she came through, basically.
Okay but like, three parameters and no return value? Yeah, it's void. She does her thing and dips 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

The kernel file lives at ./net/batman-adv/bat_v_ogm.c and honestly the whole squad is listed here — go say hi to the rest of the family 🫶:

Like, look at all those (9) sections. The way that the batman-adv OGM family just ate the manpage index 👑💅 periodt.

That's the whole page, bestie. Sending you off with the source ./net/batman-adv and the date stamp October 2026 — mwah 💖 🎀 ✨
