📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 llc_ui_release(9) — the Kernel API Manual girlies' edition 🎀

Ok so bestie, welcome to llc_ui_release from the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual, and yes you're gonna understand it, because this one is literally so simple it's basically a vibes-only function. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

llc_ui_release — shutdown socket 💀✌️

That's it. That's the whole name section. She shuts down a socket. No cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int llc_ui_release (struct socket *sock );

Look at her. One argument, returns an int, taking a struct socket *. Iconic. Copy it exactly, character for character — we do not freestyle signatures in this house. 🙅‍♀️

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • sock — the socket you're releasing, bestie. That's the one. That's the socket getting shut down and deallocated. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does she do? Shutdown and deallocate an existing socket. 💅

That's the whole thing — she shuts the socket down, and then she deallocates it. Cleanup queen behavior. When you're done with a socket and you want it gone-gone, this is the one that handles it. 🔥 Lowkey the most satisfying kind of function: does exactly what it says, no plot twists.
