ENUM BATADV_ORIG_CAPABILITIES(9)

💅 enum batadv_orig_capabilities(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute 🎀

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about enum batadv_orig_capabilities, which is literally the "what can this orig node actually do" list. yes, that's the whole name: enum batadv_orig_capabilities - orig node capabilities. it's giving "little enum, big responsibilities" energy and honestly? iconic. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the shape of it, and yes you're gonna want to copy it exactly because we do not freestyle C:

enum batadv_orig_capabilities {
    BATADV_ORIG_CAPA_HAS_DAT ,
    BATADV_ORIG_CAPA_HAS_TT ,
    BATADV_ORIG_CAPA_HAS_MCAST

};

three constants, no cap. that's the whole squad 🫶

---

✨ Constants ✨

okay so each one of these is a little flag saying "this orig node has this going on." let's meet them 💖

• BATADV_ORIG_CAPA_HAS_DAT — this orig node has the distributed arp table enabled. yes, the DAT. she's distributed and she's arp-ing. 🔥
• BATADV_ORIG_CAPA_HAS_TT — this orig node has the tt capability. iconic, we love a translation table moment. 🦋
• BATADV_ORIG_CAPA_HAS_MCAST — this orig node has some multicast capability, and to be super precise about it: it means the orig node announces a tvlv of type BATADV_TVLV_MCAST. periodt. 💅

no extra lore here, bestie — the manpage says exactly these three and that's what we're giving you. don't go inventing a fourth one 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

this is the part where the manpage just, like, dumps its entire friend group on you. so many cross-references. it's giving "mutuals list" and I'm obsessed. all of these live over in the kernel file ./net/batman-adv/types.h 🌈
