💅 batadv_v_mesh_free(9) 💅

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a little one-function wonder and I'm obsessed. it does exactly one thing and it does it iconically. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

batadv_v_mesh_free — free the B.A.T.M.A.N. V private resources for a mesh

like… yes bestie, it's the cleanup girlie. the mesh had its little B.A.T.M.A.N. V era and now we're freeing the private resources. it's giving end of an era energy. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void batadv_v_mesh_free(struct batadv_priv *bat_priv);

notice the void? that means it returns literally nothing. no value, no status, no little treat for you at the end. it just does the thing and dips. 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • bat_priv — the object representing the mesh interface to free. that's it. that's the whole argument list. one (1) pointer and a dream. 🎀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

so this lives in the kernel file ./net/batman-adv/bat_v.c and it's literally surrounded by its whole friend group. like a group chat where everyone has a (9) after their name. here's the full roster, not me listing all of them 💀

see how batadv_v_mesh_init(9) is right there? yeah. they're a matched set. init girlies and free girlies. balance. 🌈

lowkey important: this page doesn't spell out any return values or error codes, because there aren't any. it's void. freeing happens, and that's the whole plot. 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie. source is ./net/batman-adv (the kernel tree, nowhere else 🧚), dated October 2026, and it's filed under batadv_v_mesh_free(9). mwah. 💖✨🍓
