bridge_slot_remove(9)

💅 bridge_slot_remove — the Kernel API Manual edit, bestie 🎀

okay so real talk, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the vibes are immaculate. this page is about bridge_slot_remove(9) and honestly? she's a short queen but she does her job. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bridge_slot_remove — literally removes a node from the linked list of slots. that's it, that's the whole personality. no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int bridge_slot_remove (struct pci_func *bridge );

one function, one argument, one int coming back at you. iconic. 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bridge — the bridge you wanna remove. she's a struct pci_func *, and yes she's the main character of this call 🙈

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this function returns 0 if it worked — slay, successful, we love to see it 💖

and if it didn't work? it returns !0 (that's "not zero", bestie, in case the ! was giving you a moment 😭). so like, anything that isn't 0 means it didn't go through. keep that vibe check in mind before you assume it worked fr fr.

ngl the original does not elaborate beyond that, so if you were hoping for a whole lore drop about how it removes the node — that's a different manpage, iykyk 🧚
