STRUCT BATADV_DAT_CANDIDATE(9)

💅 struct batadv_dat_candidate(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct batadv_dat_candidate(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 🫶. it's a tiny little struct with main character energy, and we're gonna get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct batadv_dat_candidate — the candidate destination for DAT operations 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct batadv_dat_candidate {
    int type;
    struct batadv_orig_node *orig_node;
 };

two fields. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• type — this is the type of the selected candidate, and honestly it can be one of these two ✨:
  • BATADV_DAT_CANDIDATE_NOT_FOUND
  • BATADV_DAT_CANDIDATE_ORIG

like, either we found nothing, or we found an originator. no in-between, no cap 💀

• orig_node — okay so if type is BATADV_DAT_CANDIDATE_ORIG, then this field points to the corresponding originator node structure 👑. it's giving "only relevant sometimes" and we respect it.
