epf_ntb_epc...up_interface(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… epf_ntb_epc_cleanup_interface β€” a Kernel API Manual moment πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, we're talking about epf_ntb_epc_cleanup_interface(9) today and honestly? she's a little cleanup queen and we stan. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

epf_ntb_epc_cleanup_interface β€” literally just Cleanup NTB interface. that's the whole vibe. no cap. πŸ§ΉπŸ’–


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void epf_ntb_epc_cleanup_interface (struct epf_ntb *ntb , enum
pci_epc_interface_type type );

like, she returns void (no tea, no shade, no return value) and she takes exactly two things. that's it. 🫢


πŸ’œ ARGUMENTS πŸ’œ

  • ntb β€” the NTB device that facilitates communication between HOST1</> and HOST2</>. she's the middleman, the connector, the group-chat admin keeping both hosts talking. πŸ’¬πŸ‘‘
  • type β€” either the PRIMARY</> interface or the SECONDARY</> interface. pick your fighter, bestie, but only one of these two. πŸŽ€

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea: this function is a wrapper to cleanup a particular NTB interface. that's the whole job. she wraps, she cleans up, she leaves. iconic behaviour honestly, lowkey the most relatable function in the file. πŸ’…βœ¨

no extra steps, no secret side quests β€” wrapper, particular NTB interface, cleanup. periodt. 🧚
