entry_remove_dir(9)

💅 entry_remove_dir(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to entry_remove_dir from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, we love a kernel-internals moment) ✨ this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of a baddie for it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

entry_remove_dir — recursively drop a directory entry from the securityfs 💫

like, it doesn't just yeet the one dir, it takes the whole little family tree down with it. recursive removal, no cap. 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void entry_remove_dir (struct aa_sfs_entry *fs_dir );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no return value, she just does it. 🫶

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• fs_dir — an aa_sfs_entry (and literally all of its child entries) to detach. and bestie, it is NOT NULL — do not come in here with a null pointer, that's not the vibe 🙈

⚠️ heads up: this arg is marked NOT NULL, so fr fr pass a real one. mmmkay? 💀
