ENUM BATADV_IFLA_ATTRS(9)

💅 NAME

enum batadv_ifla_attrs — the batman-adv ifla nested attributes, bestie. That's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS

enum batadv_ifla_attrs {
    IFLA_BATADV_UNSPEC ,
    IFLA_BATADV_ALGO_NAME ,
    __IFLA_BATADV_MAX

};

🎀 Constants

Ok so these are the actual members of the enum, and there's literally only three of them, so pay attention 🫶

• IFLA_BATADV_UNSPEC — the unspecified attribute, and no cap, rtnetlink does not parse this one. It's giving "placeholder, do not perceive her" 💀
• IFLA_BATADV_ALGO_NAME — the routing algorithm (name) that the newly registered batadv net_device should use. So like, this is the one that actually picks the algorithm, main character energy fr fr 👑
• __IFLA_BATADV_MAX — internal use only, not for you, babe 🙈 that's her private business

Lowkey important: __IFLA_BATADV_MAX is marked internal use. So don't go treating her like a regular attribute, mwah 💋
