💅 enum batadv_dhcpoptioncode(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this lil page is all about that enum life, and ngl it's a short one but it matters. Grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum batadv_dhcpoptioncode — the DHCP option codes that actually matter for batman-adv DAT 🦇💖

(it's giving "small enum, big responsibilities", honestly)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum batadv_dhcpoptioncode {
    BATADV_DHCP_OPT_PAD ,
    BATADV_DHCP_OPT_MSG_TYPE ,
    BATADV_DHCP_OPT_END

};

look at her 🥹 just three constants, no drama, no cap. Literally the whole enum. Periodt.

🎀 Constants 🎀

so these are the actual members, and yes there are only three (iykyk) 👑

  • BATADV_DHCP_OPT_PAD — the pad option 💤 like the filler episode of DHCP options — it's just padding, bestie.
  • BATADV_DHCP_OPT_MSG_TYPE — the DHCP message type option 📬 the one that tells you what kind of DHCP message you're looking at. main character energy fr.
  • BATADV_DHCP_OPT_END — the end of options marker 🏁 the "okay we're done here, bye" of the option list. slay.
ngl these are numbered by the DHCP spec, so don't be out here inventing your own values bestie 😭 the enum is what it is.
