✨ gether_disconnect(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the gether_disconnect(9) page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's giving "quiet but essential" main character energy 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

gether_disconnect — the little function that tells the network layer your USB link went inactive 🔌💤

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void gether_disconnect (struct gether *link );

yep that's the whole thing, no cap — she takes one arg and returns nothing (void, iconic, doesn't even need to report back 🫶)

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• link — the USB link, and specifically the one you already called gether_connect on. like, this is the same link, don't be out here disconnecting random links bestie 😭

---

⭐ CONTEXT ⭐

irqs blocked 🔒 — that's the vibe check for where you're allowed to call this: interrupts are blocked. periodt.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's what's going down: you call this to deactivate the endpoints and let the network layer know the connection went inactive — which it reports as "no carrier" 📵✨

On return, the state is exactly as if gether_connect had never been called. like, the whole thing gets undone, no traces left behind 🧚

• the endpoints are inactive, and accordingly without active USB I/O
• pointers to endpoint descriptors and endpoint private data are nulled 🫥

that's it, that's the whole function, and honestly? she ate 🔥
