finish_erasing(9)

💅 finish_erasing — complete erase 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie, this is the finish_erasing(9) page and it's literally about finishing the erase. completing it. wrapping the whole erase situation up. that's the vibe. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

finish_erasing — complete erase 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void finish_erasing (struct n_tty_data *ldata );

like, that's it. that's the whole call. no return value, nothing comes back, it just does the thing and dips. 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ldata — n_tty data 🫶 — yes that's the entire description in the original and honestly? respect. it's the n_tty data struct, you know the one, the n_tty data. iykyk.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

so there's a lot here and we are NOT skipping any of it, because your girl does not gatekeep. first up, the kernel file itself lives at ./drivers/tty/n_tty.c — that's the home base 🏠 — and then the whole extended fam:

• n_tty_kick_worker(9)
• n_tty_write_wakeup(9)
• put_tty_queue(9)
• reset_buffer_flags(9)

like, the entire n_tty friend group showed up to the party. iconic behaviour, no notes. 🌈

ngl bestie, this page is short but it ate. read the see-also list, that's where the lore is. 💀

and that's a wrap!! this whole page came out of the ./drivers/tty source, October 2026 vintage, and it's the finish_erasing(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — go read some tty code, love u, bye 🎀💜🧚
