STRUCT BATADV_OGM_BUF(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, this is the struct batadv_ogm_buf(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the Buffer to construct an OGM with TVLV. That's the whole name — no cap 💅.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the struct in all its iconic glory:

struct batadv_ogm_buf {
    void *buf;
    size_t len;
    size_t capacity;
    size_t header_length;
};

👑 Members 👑

• buf — buffer holding the OGM packet. main character energy for the packet data.
• len — length of the OGM packet buffer data. the actual amount of data you've got.
• capacity — size of allocated buf. how much room the buffer has.
• header_length — fixed size header length (must be <= len). ⚠️ important: it must be <= len, or bestie, that's a vibe check fail.
