igc_exit_module(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 igc_exit_module (9) β€” Kernel API Manual, but make it a group chat 🌸

okay so bestie, we're in the igc man pages, and this one is the goodbye page. it's short. it's a little emotional. let's get into it πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

igc_exit_module β€” the Driver Exit Cleanup Routine (aka the driver's Irish goodbye πŸ‘‹)


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void igc_exit_module (void );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • void β€” no arguments. zero. nada. it takes nothing and it needs nothing, she's lowkey self-sufficient like that 🫢

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

igc_exit_module is called just before the driver is removed from memory. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. it's the farewell tour, the last story post before the account goes private, the "okay byeee" in the group chat 😭✨

no cap, it's a cleanup routine, so think of it as the driver packing up her room before she moves out β€” she was here, she did her thing, and now she's logging off. iconic behavior honestly πŸ‘‘


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the actual source file, in case you want to read the whole thing yourself (main character energy, go off):

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc/igc_main.c

and then. okay. brace yourself bestie, because the cross-reference list is long. like, "sending 100 texts in a row" long. but every single one of these is part of the igc cinematic universe, so here we go, no skips, fr fr πŸ’€

see? told you. that's the whole friend group. igc_init_module(9) is literally at the end there holding the door open like "you good? you got everything?" and igc_exit_module is the one walking out πŸ₯Ή


πŸ’‘ tiny reminder bestie: this page is short because the job is short. don't overthink it. she gets called, the driver gets removed from memory, she's done. periodt.

and that's the page!! coming to you straight out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc, dated October 2026 β€” mwah, love u, bye πŸŽ€πŸ’œπŸ§š
