sel_netif_kill(9)

💅 sel_netif_kill(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the sel_netif_kill(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 🫶. This is the little function that removes one specific entry from the network interface table — very niche, very iconic, very kernel-core. Let’s get into it ✨.

🌸 NAME 🌸

sel_netif_kill — Remove an entry from the network interface table 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sel_netif_kill (const struct net *ns , int ifindex );

No cap, that’s the whole signature. Two arguments, no return value, and yes it’s void — it’s giving “I do the thing and I don’t report back” energy 💅.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ns — the network namespace 🌐
• ifindex — the network interface 🔌

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function removes the entry matching ifindex from the network interface table if it exists. That’s it, that’s the whole moment: find the matching ifindex entry in the table, remove it, slay 💅. It only goes after the entry that matches ifindex, and the removal is conditional on that entry actually being there ✨.
