✨ destroy_tty_buffer(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” this is destroy_tty_buffer(9), and honestly? it's giving cleanup era. πŸ§ΉπŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

destroy_tty_buffer β€” destroy struct iucv_tty_buffer element.

like, it literally destroys it. no cap. πŸ”₯


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void destroy_tty_buffer (struct iucv_tty_buffer *bufp );

that's the whole vibe: you hand it a pointer, it does the destruction thing. periodt. ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • bufp β€” Pointer to a struct iucv_tty_buffer element, and it SHALL NOT be NULL. 🫢 fr fr, do not pass NULL here. that's the one rule. respect it.

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

so this function does not exist in a vacuum, bestie β€” it's part of the whole ./drivers/tty/hvc/hvc_iucv.c friend group 😭 and here's every single one of them, no gatekeeping:

like, that's the entire cast. main character energy across the board. 🌈⭐


lowkey a whole ecosystem of buffer functions and you're here for just the one that yeets a single struct iucv_tty_buffer element. iconic behavior honestly. πŸ“

and that's the page!! this gem lives in ./drivers/tty/hvc, version/date October 2026, and the manual is destroy_tty_buffer(9) β€” mwah, bye bestie πŸ’–πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹πŸ’œ
