__batadv_dat_purge(9)

💖 __batadv_dat_purge(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for __batadv_dat_purge(9). it's giving “tiny utility function with a big SEE ALSO list” energy, and we're gonna get through every single reference together. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

__batadv_dat_purge — delete entries from the DAT local storage 💅

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

void __batadv_dat_purge (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , bool
       (*to_purge)(struct batadv_dat_entry *) );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information ✨
• to_purge — function in charge of deciding whether an entry has to be purged or not. This function takes the dat_entry as argument and has to return a boolean value: true if the entry has to be deleted, false otherwise 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so __batadv_dat_purge() loops over each entry in the DAT local storage and deletes it if and only if the to_purge function passed as an argument returns true. that's the whole plot, no cap: the callback decides, and the purge only happens on true. 🔥
