driver_detach(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this page is driver_detach(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally about one thing: detach driver from all devices it controls. That’s the whole assignment. The driver-to-devices situationship? Ended. 💔💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Here’s the signature, copy it exactly because code is not the vibe to freestyle:

void driver_detach (const struct device_driver *drv );

It returns void, so there’s no return value waiting for you at the end. No takebacks, no little gift, just detachment. 😌

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• drv — driver. That’s it. That’s the argument. It’s the driver getting detached, typed as a const struct device_driver * named drv. One argument, main character energy only. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
