cec_notifier...n_unregister(9)

💖 NAME 💖

cec_notifier_conn_unregister — ok so bestie, this is the cleanup girly 💅. She decreases the refcount, and when that refcount hits 0 she deletes the whole thing. It's giving "you had your fun, now go home" energy. Periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void cec_notifier_conn_unregister (struct cec_notifier *n );

That's it. That's the whole vibe check. 🦋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• n — the notifier, obvi. And here's the cute part: if it's NULL, then this function does nothing 🙈. No crash, no drama, no screaming into the void — she just looks at it, goes "k bye", and leaves. Iconic behaviour tbh. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Lowkey go read the source, it's right here in the kernel file ./include/media/cec-notifier.h 📁 — and then go say hi to the whole friend group:

• cec_notifier_conn_register(9)
• cec_notifier_cec_adap_register(9)
• cec_notifier_cec_adap_unregister(9)
• cec_notifier_set_phys_addr(9)
• cec_notifier_set_phys_addr_from_edid(9)
• cec_notifier_parse_hdmi_phandle(9)
• cec_notifier_phys_addr_invalidate(9)

💀 reminder bestie: this is refcounting, so every _conn_register needs its matching _conn_unregister. Don't leave her hanging or the refcount will never hit 0 and nothing gets deleted. No cap. 🫶

that's the whole page, mwah 💋 — this little number lived in ./include/media, stamped October 2026, and it's literally titled cec_notifier...n_unregister(9) (yes the ellipsis is part of the name, she's a little dramatic like that 😭). see u in the next manpage bb 🍓💜
