mesh_gate_del(9)

💅 mesh_gate_del(9) — the "bestie, delete this gate" page 🎀

okay so real talk, this whole page is about mesh_gate_del(9), one lil function living its best life in the kernel API manual. it's giving cleanup era and honestly? we love a function that knows how to let go. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mesh_gate_del — remove a mesh gate from the list of known gates 🚪💨

like, it's literally the "you're off the list, sweetie" of mesh gates. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void mesh_gate_del (struct mesh_table *tbl , struct mesh_path *mpath );

not me showing you the exact signature with the exact spacing, because fr fr, details matter. void return, meaning it hands nothing back — it just does the thing and dips. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• tbl — the struct mesh_table * that's holding our list of known gates. think of it as the group chat roster, and this is the roster we're editing. 📋
• mpath — the gate struct mesh_path *. this is the specific gate being removed. she's the one getting the boot (lovingly, respectfully). 👑➡️🚪

that's it. two args. no hidden extras, no sneaky defaults, no environment variables, nothing. iconic minimalism tbh.

also just a heads up — this page lists no options, no flags, no exit statuses, no signals and no warnings, because there genuinely aren't any. don't go looking for lore that isn't there, bestie. 💀
