iio_device_put(9)

💅 iio_device_put — the NAME bit

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is short but iconic: iio_device_put is the refcounted deallocation of a struct device. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it drops a reference on your IIO device and lets the kernel clean up when nobody's holding on anymore. slay. ✨

(this lil' page lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's the iio_device_put(9) entry in case you were wondering which queen you're reading about 👑)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iio_device_put (struct iio_dev *indio_dev );

no return value, no drama — it's a void function, periodt. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• indio_dev — the IIO device structure containing the device. yes bestie, that's the one you're putting back. hand it over 💖

like, go read iio_device_get(9) too if you wanna see the matching bestie — they're literally a set 🫶

💀 quick vibe check: put without a matching get is how you get use-after-free energy, and that is not the look. refcount responsibly, babe.
