🌸 NAME 🌸

rtnl_unregister_all — unregister all rtnetlink message type of a protocol 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void rtnl_unregister_all (int protocol );

literally that's it. one argument, returns void, no drama. ✨

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• protocol — the protocol family, or PF_UNSPEC. that's the whole vibe check for this one 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so like… this is identical to calling rtnl_unregister for all registered message types of a certain protocol family. that's the entire tea ☕ — it's the "do it to all of them" version. not me being obsessed with a one-line description 😭 but fr fr, that's the spec.
