💅 batadv_v_iface_disable(9) — or, how to shut a protocol up on one iface

okay so real talk, bestie: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about batadv_v_iface_disable. That's the B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol girlie and this is the function that tells her to log off on a single interface. Not the whole mesh, just that one iface. Slay, but make it tidy.

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_v_iface_disable — disable the B.A.T.M.A.N. V protocol on an interface

no cap, that's the whole job. one iface, B.A.T.M.A.N. V off, done. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void batadv_v_iface_disable (struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface );

she returns void btw — no return value, no "did it work", she just does it. main character energy fr fr.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hard_iface — interface to disable

literally it. one argument, one job. it's giving minimalism and honestly? obsessed. ✨

friendly reminder that batadv_v_iface_enable(9) is right there if you change your mind and want her back. the enable/disable duo is iconic, periodt. 🔥

🧚 a lil sign-off 🧚

this page lives in the kernel source at ./net/batman-adv, dated October 2026 — so like, future girlie energy but make it documentation. go forth, disable that iface, and remember: every single detail is still here, the vibe just got better. 💖🫶🎀
