Method removeChild

node.go:452–459

removes a node from the list of in-memory children. This does not affect the inodes.

(target *node)

// removes a node from the list of in-memory children.
// This does not affect the inodes.
func (n *node) removeChild(target *node) {
	for i, child := range n.children {
		if child == target {
			n.children = append(n.children[:i], n.children[i+1:]...)
			return
		}
	}
}

// dereference causes the node to copy all its inode key/value references to heap memory.
// This is required when the mmap is reallocated so inodes are not pointing to stale data.
