pipapo_gc_scan(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to pipapo_gc_scan(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this is the page that says what happens when pipapo needs to drop expired entries and link them to the gc list. It’s giving “cleanup era” and I’m obsessed. 🧹✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pipapo_gc_scan — drop expired entries from set and link them to gc list. 🫶

No cap, that’s the whole name vibe: drop expired entries from set and link them to gc list.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void pipapo_gc_scan (struct nft_set *set , struct nft_pipapo_match *m );

That’s the exact signature, bestie — void, two arguments, no extra drama in the synopsis. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Two args, both iconic, both in the synopsis:

• set — nftables API set representation 👑
• m — Matching data 🦋
