πŸ’… mux_stop_rx β€” a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so welcome to mux_stop_rx(9), bestie πŸ’– this one's a tiny little page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "short but iconic." let's get into it ✨


✨ NAME ✨

mux_stop_rx β€” Stop receiving characters.

Like, literally that's the whole pitch πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mux_stop_rx (struct uart_port *port );

that's it. that's the function. no cap πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • port β€” Ptr to the uart_port. yes, the actual struct uart_port bestie, not a vibe, not a metaphor, an actual pointer to one 🫢

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

okay so here's the tea β˜• and it's a lil bit of a letdown ngl β€” the Serial Mux does not support this function.

that's it. that's the whole description. no hidden lore, no secret behaviour, no "well actually if you…" β€” the Serial Mux straight up does not support it πŸ™ˆ so don't go expecting it to stop receiving characters for you, because it won't. main character energy: unfulfilled 😭


πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘
