ENUM BATADV_UEV_ACTION(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual’s enum batadv_uev_action(9) page 💖 — this is literally the action type of uevent. That’s the whole name-and-purpose combo, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here’s the enum in all its glory — keep it exactly like this:

enum batadv_uev_action {
    BATADV_UEV_ADD ,
    BATADV_UEV_DEL ,
    BATADV_UEV_CHANGE ,
    BATADV_UEV_LOOPDETECT

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

okay so these are the four constants, and yes, every single one is iconic in its own way:

• BATADV_UEV_ADD — gateway was selected (after none was selected) 🔥
• BATADV_UEV_DEL — selected gateway was removed and none is selected anymore 💀
• BATADV_UEV_CHANGE — a different gateway was selected as based gateway 🌈
• BATADV_UEV_LOOPDETECT — loop was detected which cannot be handled by bridge loop avoidance 😭
