ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat(9)

💅 ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat(9) ✨ this one's short and sweet, which honestly? we love that for us. no cap, it's giving "small function, big cleanup energy" 🧹💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat — (and yes, the original leaves the description blank, so it's literally just the name sitting there with main character energy 👑 we respect the mystery)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ecryptfs_destroy_crypt_stat (struct ecryptfs_crypt_stat *crypt_stat
);

that's it. that's the whole signature. void return, one pointer in, no drama 🎀

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• crypt_stat — Pointer to the crypt_stat struct to initialize. 💀 and yes, we KNOW, the original says "initialize" for a function whose whole job is destroying, and ngl we're just gonna sit with that. The wording is what it is, fr fr — that's the description as written, so that's the description you get 🙈

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Releases all memory associated with a crypt_stat struct. 🧚 That's the entire plot. It frees the memory tied to the struct, and then it's done — no extra subplots, no sequel, periodt 💅

it's giving cleanup arc, it's giving "the backend function that lets everyone else live their truth," and honestly the supporting-character-to-icon pipeline is real 🌈

quick vibe check: this is the counterpart to ecryptfs_init_crypt_stat(9) — inits and destroys are a matched set, iykyk 💜 (that pairing is straight out of the SEE ALSO list below, we're not out here inventing lore ✨)
