π bdisp_hw_free_nodes(9) β a Kernel API Manual moment β¨
okay so real talk, we're in the Kernel API Manual today bestie, and this page is called bdisp_hw_free_nodes. yes it's a mouthful. yes we're gonna get through it together. π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
bdisp_hw_free_nodes -
okay so the NAME section literally just trails off after the dash, no description, nothing. iconic honestly. the function name is the whole personality here. π
π SYNOPSIS π
void bdisp_hw_free_nodes (struct bdisp_ctx *ctx );
returns nothing (void), takes exactly one thing, that's the whole vibe. lowkey obsessed with how clean that is.
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
ctxβ the bdisp context π that's it, that's the argument. it's the context, the main character, the one that holds it all together.
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
free node memory π«Ά
fr fr that's the entire description β it frees node memory. no 300-page lore, no surprise twists, just "free node memory" and honestly? slay. sometimes the function says what it does and that's enough.
ngl, since this is a free function, just remember you're handing memory back. that's your whole job here. nothing else is documented, so nothing else is claimed. periodt. π
π RETURN π
None. π it's void, girlie gives nothing back and expects nothing in return. no error codes, no exit statuses, no signals, no drama.
