mesh_path_del(9)

💫 mesh_path_del — kernel API manual, bestie edition 💫

Okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and honestly? It's giving "quiet little function that does exactly one thing and does it flawlessly." No cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mesh_path_del — delete a mesh path from the table

Like, unalive the entry. Politely. From the table. 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int mesh_path_del (struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata , const u8 *addr );

That's the whole vibe. Two args, one int coming back at you. Simple, iconic, done. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sdata — the local subif. That's your interface, the one you're working from. 🏠
• addr — the dst address, and it's ETH_ALEN length. So yes, that exact length. Not vibes-length. ETH_ALEN. 📏

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns 0 if successful. That's the win condition, bestie. 🎉

Heads up bestie: addr is the dst address and it has to be ETH_ALEN length. Keep that in mind, mwah. 😭💖
