mei_cldev_disable(9)

💅 mei_cldev_disable(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie

Okay so real talk: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about mei_cldev_disable. That's the function that disables the me client device disconnect from the me client 💖 — yes, that's the whole vibe, and no, I'm not making it more complicated than it is.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mei_cldev_disable (struct mei_cl_device *cldev );

That's it. One function, one argument, returns an int. Iconic behaviour, honestly 🎀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• cldev — the me client device 🦋 that's the one and only thing you hand over.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 — slay, it worked, success 💅
• < 0 — nope, error 😭 (a value less than zero, so negative — that's the "something went wrong" signal)

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

This is the part where the manpage just goes absolutely feral with the related-functions list, and honestly? Respect. It lives in the Kernel file ./drivers/misc/mei/bus.c — go look at the source, iykyk 🔥
