STRUCT BATADV_BLA_CLAIM_DST(9)

💅 struct batadv_bla_claim_dst(9) — a.k.a. the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay bestie, so this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the blueprint for the destination MAC on a BLA claim frame — like, the main character of ARP frames tbh 🎀

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

struct batadv_bla_claim_dst — the layout of the destination MAC of a BLA claim frame. yes, layout. it's giving interior design but for network packets 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct batadv_bla_claim_dst {
    __u8 magic[3];
    __u8 type;
    __be16 group;
 };

so iconic, so compact 🫶

---

🌸 MEMBERS 🌸

• magic — a fixed magic prefix (FF:43:05) that screams "I'm a claim frame!" no cap, it identifies claim frames fr fr 🔥
• type — the claim frame type, bestie. go check enum batadv_bla_claimframe for the deets 💜
• group — the group identifier of the announcing backbone gateway. like a lil squad ID for the gateway 👑

---

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

okay so this whole struct is used in the destination hardware field of the ARP frame. yep, that's the vibe. it lives there. periodt 💀
