gelic_net_stop(9)

💅 gelic_net_stop(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about gelic_net_stop. it's short. it's sweet. it's giving "one job and it does it." let's go ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gelic_net_stop — the function that gets called upon ifconfig down, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int gelic_net_stop(struct net_device *netdev);

like, that's the whole signature. she's int, she takes one pointer, she's iconic 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the interface device structure. literally the net device you're stopping. that's her 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

always returns 0.

that's it. that's the description. she always returns 0. every single time. zero. the big nothing. the most consistent queen in the kernel 😭💖 not me being obsessed with a function that has exactly one documented behaviour and it's "returns 0".

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

so there's a whole friend group here, and honestly? the roster ate. go say hi 👋
