device_remove_bin_file(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 device_remove_bin_file(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: it's a 9 section page, it's kernel API, and it's lowkey the cleanup crew of sysfs. the function is device_remove_bin_file, and yeah, the name literally tells you the whole plot — it removes a sysfs binary attribute file. no cap. ✨

🎀 NAME

device_remove_bin_file — remove sysfs binary attribute file

like, you made a binary attribute file with device_create_bin_file(9) (spoiler: it's down in SEE ALSO, she's there 🫶), and now you're done with it, so you take it back out. it's giving "we don't need this anymore, bestie." 🧹

✨ SYNOPSIS

void device_remove_bin_file (struct device *dev , const struct
       bin_attribute *attr );

note the void — this one doesn't hand you back a value, she just does the thing and leaves. main character energy, honestly. 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS

  • dev — device. that's the device you're operating on, the whole vibe check of this call. 🔥
  • attr — device binary attribute descriptor. this is the descriptor for the binary attribute — the thing you're telling the kernel to take off the device. 🎀

that's it. two args. two little pieces of your world. 💖

🦋 SEE ALSO

okay so this is the part where the manpage just dumps the entire friend group on you 😭 — every single one of these, in order, exactly as written:

bestie, that's the whole extended family. if you're looking for literally anything device-related, it's in that list. iykyk. 💀
