synth_event_delete(9)

💅 synth_event_delete(9) — the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed

okay so bestie, welcome to synth_event_delete(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. yes we're doing kernel tracing pages now. we're built different. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

synth_event_delete — Delete a synthetic event. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it deletes a synthetic event and honestly? iconic behaviour. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int synth_event_delete (const char *event_name );

like, you hand it a name, it returns an int, everybody goes home. periodt. ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• event_name — The name of the new synthetic event. that's the string you're passing in, bestie. literally the name. keep your eyes on it. 👀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Delete a synthetic event that was created with synth_event_create.

so the way that this works is: you made a synthetic event earlier with synth_event_create, and now you want it gone. undone. unalived (the event, not you 😭). this is the function that does that. it's giving cleanup era. 🌈

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

0 if successful, error otherwise.

that's the whole deal. zero means slay. anything else means something went sideways and you gotta go deal with it. no cap. 💀
