STRUCT BATADV_ORIG_IFINFO_BAT_IV(9)

💅 struct batadv_orig_ifinfo_bat_iv (kernel API manual, section 9)

okay bestie, welcome to the batadv_orig_ifinfo_bat_iv page — that's section 9 of the kernel API manual, and yes the name is a whole mouthful, we're getting through it together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct batadv_orig_ifinfo_bat_iv — the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV private orig_ifinfo members, aka the lil' stash of B.A.T.M.A.N. IV–specific data that lives tucked inside the orig_ifinfo situation. it's giving "private club, IV members only" 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct batadv_orig_ifinfo_bat_iv {
    unsigned long bcast_own[BITS_TO_LONGS(
BATADV_TQ_LOCAL_WINDOW_SIZE)];
    u8 bcast_own_sum;
 };

no cap, that's the whole struct. two members, iconic behavior ✨

---

🎀 Members 🎀

• bcast_own — a bitfield that counts how many of our OGMs this orig_node rebroadcasted "back" to us (measured relative to last_real_seqno). it's literally keeping receipts on who sent our own gossip back to us 😭
• bcast_own_sum — the sum of bcast_own. that's it, that's the member. sometimes the tl;dr is the whole thing 💖

lowkey a reminder that this page lives in ./net/batman-adv and it's dated October 2026, manual title struct batadv_orig_ifinfo_bat_iv(9) — so when you cite it, cite it correctly, bestie 🧚

anyway that's the page! two members, one bitfield, zero drama. slay, go read the other 70 cross-referenced manpages, you got this 👑✨
