bpf_iter_bits_destroy(9)
π bpf_iter_bits_destroy β the Kernel API Manual era π
okay so bestie, welcome to the bpf_iter_bits_destroy(9) page π
this is the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities." we're gonna go through it together, no cap.
β¨ NAME β¨
bpf_iter_bits_destroy β literally the function that destroys a bpf_iter_bits π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
__bpf_kfunc void bpf_iter_bits_destroy (struct bpf_iter_bits *it );
like, that's the whole signature. __bpf_kfunc void, one pointer, done. iconic. π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
itβ thebpf_iter_bitsthat's getting destroyed. that's it. that's the argument. she's the main character of this function and she is leaving π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
Destroy the resource associated with the bpf_iter_bits. π₯
fr fr, that's the whole vibe β you call this and the resource tied to your bpf_iter_bits gets cleaned up. think of it as the goodbye text after a good hangout: necessary, respectful, and it keeps your memory from leaking all over the place πβ¨

lowkey a reminder that this page lives under ./kernel/bpf and it's dated October 2026 β so yeah, very demure, very future-forward πβ
and that's the page, bestie!! go destroy that iter, hydrate, and remember: every resource deserves a clean exit π π stay slay, see you in the next manpage πβ¨
