batadv_meshif_slave_del(9)

💅 batadv_meshif_slave_del — the Kernel API Manual girlie's guide 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the batadv_meshif_slave_del(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is short and sweet and honestly it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy, so let's get into it 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_meshif_slave_del — Delete a slave iface from a batadv_mesh_interface 🦋

like, it's the breakup function. the slave iface is no longer in the situationship with the master interface, periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int batadv_meshif_slave_del (struct net_device *dev , struct net_device
*slave_dev );

look at her go 😭 two struct net_device * pointers, one int coming back. simple. iconic. no cap.

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• dev — this is the batadv_mesh_interface that's being used as the master interface 👑 she's the main character here, the one doing the deleting.
• slave_dev — the net_device that should be removed from the master interface 💀 yeah. that one. she's getting yeeted out of the mesh interface, respectfully.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 if it worked, or an error otherwise 🙈 that's it, that's the whole vibe check — zero means slay, anything else means something went sideways.

quick reminder bestie: this is kernel-adjacent business, so treat it with the respect it deserves — the page only promises 0 on success or an error otherwise, so don't be out here assuming anything more, mwah 💋
