💅 batadv_tp_list_detach(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel API docs, right? and this little function — batadv_tp_list_detach — is literally the one that goes "you're done here, babe" and removes a tp session from the mesh session list once. That's it. That's the whole vibe. One job, does it, slays 🎀

This is a (9) page, so it's kernel-internal lore — iykyk.

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_tp_list_detach — remove tp session from mesh session list once 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool batadv_tp_list_detach (struct batadv_tp_vars_common *tp_vars );

like, it takes one thing and gives you back a bool. simple. elegant. iconic.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • tp_vars — the private data of the current TP meter session 🫶 this is your session's little stash of secrets, and yes it's the thing being yeeted off the list.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

It hands you back a bool telling you whether tp_vars was detached from the list and the reference must be freed. So like:

  • detached + you gotta free the reference? that's a true, go handle your business 💅
  • otherwise? false, nothing to free, you're free to vibe 💀

ngl this return value is the whole point — don't ignore it, bestie, or you'll leak references and the kernel will side-eye you forever 😭
