💅 class_compat_remove_link(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of class_compat_remove_link(9), live from the Kernel API Manual. this one is short and sweet and honestly it's giving "small function, big cleanup energy" ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

class_compat_remove_link — removes a compatibility class device link to a bus device 🫶

like, it's the un-linkening. the "we're done here" of links. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void class_compat_remove_link (struct class_compat *cls , struct device
*dev );

bestie it returns void, so there's literally nothing to check. no return value, no drama, no notes. 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cls — the compatibility class. yes, that compatibility class 💅
• dev — the target bus device. the one we're removing the link for, main character energy 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file is ./drivers/base/class.c, and here's the whole friend group 🫶:

• class_create(9)
• class_destroy(9)
• class_dev_iter_init(9)
• class_dev_iter_next(9)

• class_find_device(9)
• class_compat_register(9)
• class_compat_unregister(9)
• class_compat_create_link(9)
• class_is_registered(9)

like, class_compat_create_link(9) is literally the icon that makes the link, and this page is the one that removes it. they're a duo, iykyk 💜
