nand_erase_nand(9)

💅 nand_erase_nand(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

Okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page, the star of the show is nand_erase_nand, and she's here to erase stuff. Let's get into it. ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

nand_erase_nand — [INTERN] erase block(s). That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nand_erase_nand (struct nand_chip *chip , struct erase_info *instr ,
       int allowbbt );

Look at that signature. Lowkey iconic. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• chip — the NAND chip object itself. The main character, literally.
• instr — the erase instruction. This is the "what am I even erasing" of it all.
• allowbbt — allow erasing the bbt area. Yes, that bbt area. She said what she said. 🫶

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Erase one or more blocks. That's the whole description, and honestly? She ate. No cap, no filler, just block erasing. 💅

ngl bestie, this page is short and sweet — the whole personality is "erase one or more blocks" and the rest is just receipts. Respect. 🧚
