tcf_em_tree_destroy(9)

💅 tcf_em_tree_destroy 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and bestie… it's a little goodbye ceremony for an ematch tree 🥀

---

✨ NAME ✨

tcf_em_tree_destroy — destroy an ematch tree, no cap, that's literally the whole job 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void tcf_em_tree_destroy (struct tcf_ematch_tree *tree );

like… that's it. one function, one pointer, one destiny ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tree — the ematch tree that's getting deleted 👋 bye bestie, you had a good run

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this function destroys an ematch tree that was previously created by tcf_em_tree_validate / tcf_em_tree_change 💀 it's giving "cleanup era", it's giving "closure"

⚠️ but listen — you must ensure that the ematch tree is not in use before calling this function. like fr fr, do the vibe check first. if something's still holding onto that tree and you destroy it anyway, that's not slaying, that's a mess 😭

so yeah: check nobody's using it, then let tcf_em_tree_destroy do its thing. periodt 🌈
