ENUM BATADV_GENL_OPS_FLAGS(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for enum batadv_genl_ops_flags(9) — literally the flags for genl_ops's internal_flags, no cap. It's giving "small enum, very important netlink energy" ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum batadv_genl_ops_flags {
    BATADV_FLAG_NEED_MESH ,
    BATADV_FLAG_NEED_HARDIF ,
    BATADV_FLAG_NEED_VLAN

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

• BATADV_FLAG_NEED_MESH — request requires valid mesh interface in attribute BATADV_ATTR_MESH_IFINDEX and expects a pointer to it to be saved in info->user_ptr[0] 💅
• BATADV_FLAG_NEED_HARDIF — request requires valid hard interface in attribute BATADV_ATTR_HARD_IFINDEX and expects a pointer to it to be saved in info->user_ptr[1] 🌸
• BATADV_FLAG_NEED_VLAN — request requires valid vlan in attribute BATADV_ATTR_VLANID and expects a pointer to it to be saved in info->user_ptr[1] 🫶

not me being obsessed with the way these flags just require valid things and then save pointers in info->user_ptr[…] — iconic behavior, fr fr 😭
