bnx2i_hw_ep_disconnect(9)

💅 bnx2i_hw_ep_disconnect — a little kernel-API moment (section 9, bestie)

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about bnx2i_hw_ep_disconnect. Buckle up, it's a short one but it's iconic ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2i_hw_ep_disconnect — literally just runs the TCP connection teardown process, but like, in the hw 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int bnx2i_hw_ep_disconnect (struct bnx2i_endpoint *bnx2i_ep );

that's it. that's the whole call. she's simple, she's sleek, she returns an int 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bnx2i_ep — your TCP connection handle (the bnx2i endpoint one, iykyk). this is the thing you're disconnecting. hold her gently 🥺

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bestie, what this does is: it executes TCP connection teardown process. that's the vibe. that's the whole vibe. teardown, but make it hardware. no cap. 🧚
