dcb_ieee_delapp(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… dcb_ieee_delapp(9) β€” like, the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has lore too, and this page is one of the lil' chapters in it) πŸŽ€

This one's about dcb_ieee_delapp β€” the function that goes "nope, not you anymore" to an application entry. Let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

dcb_ieee_delapp β€” delete IEEE dcb application data from list πŸ—‘οΈβœ¨

Like. It removes stuff. From a list. From the list. You'll see.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int dcb_ieee_delapp (struct net_device *dev , struct dcb_app *del );

That's the whole signature, no cap. Returns an int, takes two pointers, and honestly she's not complicated πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • dev β€” the network interface, i.e. the device we're talking about here πŸ–₯️
  • del β€” the application data to delete, like the actual thing getting yeeted out of the list πŸ™ˆ

That's it. Two arguments. Main character and her plus-one πŸ’–


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does it actually do? It removes a matching APP data from the APP list πŸ”₯

Matching is the key word here, bestie β€” it's not out here deleting random vibes, it goes looking for the entry that matches and takes it out of the APP list. Clean, targeted, iconic πŸ‘‘

ngl it's giving "vibe check: failed, you're out" and honestly? Respect. 🫢

  • dcb_ieee_setapp(9) β€” the IEEE sibling that adds instead of deleting (the opposite energy fr fr)
