eventfs_remove_rec(9)

💅 eventfs_remove_rec(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little function page and it's literally called eventfs_remove_rec — say that five times fast, I dare you 🫶

---

🌸 NAME

eventfs_remove_rec — remove eventfs dir or file from list 🗂️✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

void eventfs_remove_rec (struct eventfs_inode *ei , int level );

like, that's the whole vibe. two args, no drama 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• ei — the eventfs_inode we're yeeting out of existence. it's the one being removed, periodt 🗑️
• level — the recursion bodyguard 🛡️ it keeps the recursion from going more than 3 levels deep. no cap, three is the limit.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function recursively removes eventfs_inodes, which contain info of files and/or directories. like it just keeps going down the tree, cleaning up as it goes, and honestly? iconic behavior 👑

recursive cleanup is giving main character energy but also it's giving "please respect the level param" 😭 that's literally what level is there for, bestie.
