gpiochip_fwd_desc_free(9)

💅 gpiochip_fwd_desc_free(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little function page from the kernel docs, and honestly? she's short and sweet. Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gpiochip_fwd_desc_free — the girl whose whole job is removing a GPIO desc from the forwarder 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void gpiochip_fwd_desc_free (struct gpiochip_fwd *fwd , unsigned int
offset );

like, that's it. that's the whole signature. no return value, no drama, just vibes 😌

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fwd — the GPIO forwarder in question 🦋 your main character struct, fr fr
• offset — the offset of the GPIO desc you wanna remove. yes, that one. bye bestie 👋
