  • handle — the VCE session handle to use 🪪 that's the stream's little ID badge, iykyk.
  • direct — direct or delayed pool 🏊 pick your lane: straight there or wait in the pool.
  • fence — optional fence to return 🚩 optional!! she can hand you back a fence if you want one, no pressure.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

close up a stream — that's the whole vibe. 🧚 either because you're doing a HW test, or because userspace failed to do so 🙈 and didn't clean up after itself. so this function steps in, main character energy, and generates the destroy msg to shut that stream down properly. periodt. 💅
