ishtp_cl_unlink(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to ishtp_cl_unlink(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel API manual, we're literally in the big leagues now 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ishtp_cl_unlink — remove fw_cl from the client device list 🧹💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ishtp_cl_unlink (struct ishtp_cl *cl );

no cap, that's the whole signature. void return, one pointer, she's simple and she knows it ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • cl — client device instance. that's your girl, the struct ishtp_cl you're about to unlink 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the vibe: ishtp_cl_unlink removes a previously linked device from an ishtp device. that's it. that's the function 💅

think of it as the breakup text after ishtp_cl_link already slid into the list — you're taking that device back out. iconic behavior, honestly 👑

lowkey important: the device has to have been previously linked for this to be the move you're looking for. the manpage says "previously linked" for a reason, bestie — don't come at her with an unlinked device 🙈

🍓 SEE ALSO 🍓

the kernel file herself lives at ./drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/client.c — go read the source, it's giving main character energy 📖✨

and the whole friend group, in the exact order the manpage lists them:

that's a full squad right there, fr fr 🔥

and that's the tea ☕ — this one came out of ./drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp, dated October 2026, titled ishtp_cl_unlink(9). slay, go unlink responsibly 💜🦋
