💅 batadv_purge_orig_neighbors (9) — aka the batadv_purge_orig_neighbors(9) page, from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the mesh, right, and somebody's originator node has collected a bunch of neighbors, and some of them are just... not it anymore. 🙈 This function is the cleanup fairy. It's the "girl, block him" of batman-adv. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

batadv_purge_orig_neighbors — purges neighbors from originator. literally what it says on the tin, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool batadv_purge_orig_neighbors (struct batadv_priv *bat_priv , struct
       batadv_orig_node *orig_node );

note the bool return, bestie — she gives you answers 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bat_priv — the bat priv with all the mesh interface information, i.e. the whole entire vibe of your mesh interface lives in here 🫶
• orig_node — orig node which is to be checked. this is the main character we're doing a vibe check on ⭐
