mux_chip_free(9)

🌸 mux_chip_free — NAME vibes ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for mux_chip_free 💅 and honestly? the name says it all:

mux_chip_free — free the mux-chip for good. like, gone gone. no take-backsies 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void mux_chip_free (struct mux_chip *mux_chip );

that's the whole signature, no cap. it returns void, so don't go looking for a return value that isn't there 🙈

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mux_chip — the mux-chip you're freeing. that's her. she's the one being released 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕: mux_chip_free reverses the effects of mux_chip_alloc. that's literally the whole job, and she does it iconically 💅

think of it like the undo button for the alloc — mux_chip_alloc brought the mux-chip into existence, and mux_chip_free is the one that ends that era. main character energy on both sides, honestly 👑
