ENUM BATADV_MESH_STATE(9)

💅 enum batadv_mesh_state(9)

okay so bestie, this is the enum batadv_mesh_state(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely so simple it's iconic. It's literally just the vibe check for a mesh interface — like, what state is it in right now? That's it. That's the whole page. ✨
