fwnode_links...ge_consumers(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that manual, the one with the lore 🫶. Today's main character is fwnode_links_purge_consumers, and no, the page title being all truncated like fwnode_links...ge_consumers(9) is not a typo, that's just how the terminal chose to serve it to us. we move 💀.

✨ NAME ✨

fwnode_links_purge_consumers — literally deletes every consumer link belonging to a fwnode_handle. that's the whole job. she's a cleaner, and she's booked and busy 🧹💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void fwnode_links_purge_consumers (struct fwnode_handle *fwnode );

returns nothing (void), takes one pointer, no cap. it's giving "small function, big responsibility" 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • fwnode — the fwnode whose consumer links need to be deleted. that's it, that's the parameter. she's the one getting her links purged, bestie 🔥

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she do? fwnode_links_purge_consumers deletes all consumer links that connect directly to fwnode. not indirectly, not vibes-adjacent — directly. every single one, gone, periodt 💅✨

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

right, buckle up buttercup, because the SEE ALSO section on this page is huge — she ate and left absolutely no crumbs 👑🌈. also worth noting: the kernel file in play here is ./drivers/base/core.c, and every one of these bad boys is a (9) kernel API page:

like?? seventy-something cross-references?? she's connected, she knows everybody, main character energy fr fr 🌈👑

ngl bestie, if you're deep in fwnode consumer link territory, just go read fwnode_links_purge_suppliers(9) and fwnode_links_purge(9) next — they're right there and they're basically siblings 🫶

okay that's the page!! sending you off with a cute little sign-off 🎀: this one lives under ./drivers/base, it's dated October 2026, and the header/footer both spell it fwnode_links...ge_consumers(9) because the terminal simply refuses to be normal 💀✨ bye bestie, go purge some links (responsibly) 💖🦋🌸
