💅 enclosure_remove_device(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the manual name, we're in the big leagues now ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

enclosure_remove_device — literally the function that takes a device out of an enclosure. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Bye-bye device 👋

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int enclosure_remove_device (struct enclosure_device *edev , struct device *dev );

That's the whole signature, no cap. It hands you back an int, and it takes two things: your struct enclosure_device *edev and your struct device *dev 🌸

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • edev — the enclosure device itself, your main character 🫶
  • dev — the device you're removing/putting. Yep, "remove/put" — that's exactly how the original says it, and we're not editing it, we're just reporting the news 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what does it actually do? It returns zero on success, or an error. That's the entire deal. Lowkey iconic in its simplicity ngl — no essay, no lore, just: success = 0, otherwise = an error. Periodt 💖

bestie pls note: the manpage does not spell out any more than that, so I'm not gonna make anything up. Zero on success, an error otherwise. That's the tea ☕

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

Kernel file ./drivers/misc/enclosure.c — and the whole friend group is here 🧚:

(obviously enclosure_add_device(9) is the one that does the opposite of us, they're like siblings 🍓)

okay and the cute sign-off: this lil beauty lives in ./drivers/misc (that's the source, and also the version, don't ask, it's just how the footer rolls 💀) and it's dated October 2026. bye bestie, go remove some devices responsibly 💜🎀✨
