💅 batadv_v_orig_dump(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🫶

okay so bestie, welcome to the batadv_v_orig_dump(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the little function that's literally just here to dump the originators into a message, and honestly? icon behavior. no cap. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_v_orig_dump — Dump the originators into a message. that's it, that's the whole gig 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void batadv_v_orig_dump (struct sk_buff *msg , struct netlink_callback
cb , struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , struct batadv_hard_iface
if_outgoing );

like yes she returns void, she doesn't need to give you anything back, she's already that girl 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • msg — the netlink message you're dumping into, bestie. this is the canvas, the vibe receptacle, the place where the originators are gonna live. 🖼️
  • cb — the control block, and it's carrying all the extra options around with it like a little tote bag of settings. 👜✨
  • bat_priv — the bat priv, aka the one holding all the mesh interface information. main character energy fr fr. 👑
  • if_outgoing — the limiter, the bouncer at the club 🚪 — the dump gets restricted to entries whose outgoing interface is this one. no entry with a different outgoing iface is getting in, periodt.
ngl, if you're like "wait, what does if_outgoing do again" — it's the filter. keep it in mind. it's giving selective. 💀
