π hid_remove_all_dquirks(9) β the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition β¨
okay so picture this: you're in the hid_remove_all_dquirks man page (that's the (9) section, kernel API club π), and it's literally just one job β wipe every runtime HID quirk out of memory. no cap, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
hid_remove_all_dquirks β remove all runtime HID quirks from memory π§Ήπ
like, all of them. every last one. gone. slay.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void hid_remove_all_dquirks (__u16 bus );
that's it, that's the whole signature. returns void because it doesn't need to hand you anything back β it's a doer, not a talker π
π ARGUMENTS π
busβ the bus you wanna match against. π and here's the tea: if you want all of them removed, useHID_BUS_ANY. periodt. don't be out here passing some random bus when you meant everyone π
β DESCRIPTION β
so what does it actually do? it frees all memory associated with dynamic quirks β all of it, ngl, no crumbs left behind π
and when does it run? it's called before module unload π§ so think of it as the cleanup crew that shows up right before the party (the module) leaves the building. main character energy for a janitor function, honestly.
lowkey important: this is the free everything function. it's doing memory management, so likeβ¦ respect it. π
