okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes, that's the whole manual name, we're in the kernel section now, put your big-girl hat on 🎀. This one's a lil function from the mesh world and it's honestly kind of a vibe once you get it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

mesh_accept_plinks_update — update accepting_plink in local mesh beacons 🦋

like, that's it. that's the whole job. it goes into the local mesh beacons and refreshes the accepting_plink situation. no cap. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u64 mesh_accept_plinks_update (struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata );

one function, one argument, returns a u64. clean. iconic. we love a signature that knows what it wants 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sdata — the mesh interface where the mesh beacons are gonna get updated 💖 like, this is the interface, the main character here. beacons in, beacons updated. periodt.

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

returns the beacon changed flag if the beacon content actually changed ⭐

so if nothing moved, you get nothing. if the beacon content shifted, you get the flag. that's the whole story bestie, no hidden lore 🙈
