💅 mei_cl_device_remove(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to mei_cl_device_remove(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. this is the little function that takes a device off the bus. that's the whole vibe. clean, simple, iconic. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

mei_cl_device_remove — remove device from the bus 🚌

like literally what it says on the tin. device? gone. bus? no longer has it. slay.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mei_cl_device_remove (struct device *dev );

note the void, bestie — that's the important part, keep that in your pocket for the RETURN section, trust me 😭

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev — the device. that's it. that's the argument. the device in question, the one getting removed from the bus. no cap, that's the entire description the page gives us 🫶

💖 RETURN 💖

0 on success; < 0 otherwise.

and yes, we're all clocking the tension here — the synopsis says void and the return section is out here talking about 0 and negatives 😭 i'm not here to start drama, i'm just telling you exactly what the page says. the facts are the facts, periodt 💅
