✨ NAME ✨

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • file β€” the file handle that's attached πŸ’– the little handle object riding along with the whole operation

no cap though, there's a Bugs note and we do NOT skip it:

This needs extending to check that a given adapter is present, so we can support hot plugging, and it also needs to ref count adapters 😭 so yeah β€” future work, not current behaviour. don't come for me, that's literally what the page says πŸ’€
