input_mt_release_slots(9)

✨ input_mt_release_slots ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for input_mt_release_slots — a nine-arg-free, void-returning little icon from the Linux kernel's input subsystem 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

input_mt_release_slots — deactivate all the slots, every single one, no survivors 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void input_mt_release_slots (struct input_dev *dev );

that's it. that's the whole signature. void in, void out, no drama ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• dev — the input device that already has its MT slots allocated 🫶 (yes, allocated — this function is not out here creating slots for you, it's just lifting the ones that exist, iykyk)

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Lift all active slots. 🎈

like, literally all of them. every active slot gets lifted. that's the whole vibe. that's what it does. no cap.

heads up bestie: the slots need to be allocated already — dev is described as an input device with allocated MT slots, so don't come crying to this function if the slots aren't there 🙈
