media_gobj_destroy(9)

💅 media_gobj_destroy(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up manual for media_gobj_destroy, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "one job and she does it." let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

media_gobj_destroy — stop using a graph object on a media device. literally that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void media_gobj_destroy (struct media_gobj *gobj );

like, she returns nothing (void, queen of minding her business) and she takes exactly one thing. no notes. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gobj — pointer to the struct media_gobj graph object. yes that's the one you're done with. hand her the pointer and let her cook 🔥

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this one should be called by all the routines like media_device_unregister that remove/destroy media graph objects. like, if your code is out here deleting graph objects and it's not calling this? that's not the move, bestie. that's the opposite of the move. 😭

the way i need you to understand: this is the "cleanup era" function. you made the graph object (main character energy ✨), you used the graph object, and now you're removing/destroying it — so you call media_gobj_destroy and everyone stays polite and correct. periodt. 👑
