coresight_release_path(9)

🎀 coresight_release_path(9) 🎀

okay bestie, you found the Kernel API Manual entry for coresight_release_path, and yes, we’re gonna make it make sense. This is the release-a-previously-built-path situation. 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

coresight_release_path — release a previously built path. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void coresight_release_path (struct coresight_path *path );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• path — the path to release. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here’s the whole vibe: coresight_release_path goes through all the elements of a path and does these two things:

1. removes it from the list — yep, it gets removed from the list. 🫶
2. frees the memory allocated for each node — literally, every node’s allocated memory gets freed. 💖

No cap, that’s the entire described behavior: remove from list + free each node’s memory. 🧚
