🌸 NAME 🌸

tipc_service_delete — purge all publications for a service and delete it

like, it cleans house — every publication for that service gets yeeted, and then the service itself is gone. periodt 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void tipc_service_delete (struct net *net , struct tipc_service *sc );

that's it, that's the whole vibe check. no return value, it's a void, she just does the thing 💀

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• net — the associated network namespace. literally the namespace net we're operating in, iykyk 🌈
• sc — the tipc_service to delete. this is the main character 🎀 the service that's about to not exist anymore

ngl, this one's a delete function, so pls don't call it on a service you still need 🙈 it purges the publications and removes the service — that's the whole point, no take-backsies 💀
