batadv_wifi...evice_insert(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_wifi_net_device_insert — bestie, this one saves the info about a wifi net_device 💖

So like, the manual page we're reading is batadv_wifi_net_device_insert(9), from the Kernel API Manual, and it's basically the function that tucks away what it knows about a wireless network device. Iconic little record-keeper behavior, honestly.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int batadv_wifi_net_device_insert (struct net_device *net_dev , u32
wifi_flags );

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• net_dev — the net_device you're adding to batadv_wifi_net_devices. That's the one going in the list, no cap 🫶
• wifi_flags — the already-extracted batadv_hard_iface_wifi_flags of a net_device. It got pulled out earlier, you're just handing it over.

---

🎀 RETURN 🎀

• 0 on success ✨
• a negative value on error 😭 (that's it, that's the vibe)

Heads up bestie: positive numbers are not part of the deal here — success is 0, failure is negative. Keep that mental note 💀
