💅 bnx2fc_destroy — bestie edition

okay so this is bnx2fc_destroy(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it's a kernel API page, section 9, and it's the one that tears down a bnx2fc FCoE interface. short page, but honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2fc_destroy — destroy a bnx2fc FCoE interface

like, it's the cleanup crew. the bye bestie of FCoE interfaces 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int bnx2fc_destroy (struct net_device *netdev );

that's the whole signature, no cap. returns an int, takes one struct net_device * named netdev. 🎀

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• netdev — the net device that the FCoE interface is on. yeah. that one. the FCoE interface literally lives on it, so that's the thing you hand over 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

called from sysfs. that's it. that's the description. i know 😭 the manpage is not giving essay, it's giving "the vibes are self-explanatory". so: something in sysfs calls this, and bnx2fc_destroy is what happens next. don't ask me for more lore, the original page is literally this short 💀

---

✨ RETURN ✨

• 0 — success ✨ slay. that's the documented value, and it's the good one.
