💅 iio_channel_release(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you grabbed a channel with iio_channel_get, and now you're done with it. Bestie. You have to give it back. That's literally what this page is about — iio_channel_release, from the Kernel API Manual, and yes we're reading it together, grab a snack 🍓

🌸 NAME 🌸

iio_channel_release — releases the channels you got via iio_channel_get, no cap 💖

Like, it's the cleanup era. The goodbye text. The "thanks for the memories, now free yourself" moment ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void iio_channel_release (struct iio_channel *chan );

That's the whole vibe: returns nothing (void, she gives nothing back emotionally), takes one pointer, done 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • chan — the channel that's getting released 🫶 that's it, that's the whole argument. The one being let go. Fly free, little channel 🕊️
