nbcon_braille_release(9)

💅 nbcon_braille_release(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to nbcon_braille_release(9) ✨ this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one. a little palate cleanser. a snack, if you will 🍓

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nbcon_braille_release — release the nbcon console. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you let go, you free it, you move on 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nbcon_braille_release (struct nbcon_write_context *wctxt );

literally one function, no return value, zero drama, we love a no-notes queen 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• wctxt — the nbcon write context, and here's the important part bestie: it has to be one that was initialized by a successful nbcon_braille_try_acquire. like, you can't just show up with any old context, okay? it's giving "invitation only" 🎀

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this is the part where the manpage just dumps the whole friend group on you 😭 but like, they're all icons, so:

Kernel file ./kernel/printk/nbcon.c — that's the home base 🏠

and then, in no particular order because we don't rank our friends:

nbcon_state_set(9), nbcon_state_read(9), nbcon_state_try_cmpxchg(9), nbcon_seq_read(9), nbcon_seq_force(9), nbcon_seq_try_update(9), nbcon_context_try_acquire_direct(9), nbcon_context_try_acquire_requested(9), nbcon_context_try_acquire_handover(9), nbcon_context_try_acquire_hostile(9), nbcon_context_try_acquire(9), nbcon_context_release(9), nbcon_context_can_proceed(9), nbcon_can_proceed(9), __nbcon_context_update_unsafe(9), nbcon_enter_unsafe(9), nbcon_exit_unsafe(9), nbcon_reacquire_nobuf(9), nbcon_emit_next_record(9), nbcon_kthread_should_wakeup(9), nbcon_kthread_func(9), nbcon_irq_work(9), nbcon_kthreads_wake(9), nbcon_kthread_create(9), nbcon_get_cpu_emergency_nesting(9), nbcon_get_default_prio(9), nbcon_allow_unsafe_takeover(9), nbcon_legacy_emit_next_record(9), __nbcon_atomic_flush_pending_con(9), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending_con(9), __nbcon_atomic_flush_pending(9), nbcon_atomic_flush_pending(9), nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe(9), nbcon_cpu_emergency_enter(9), nbcon_cpu_emergency_exit(9), nbcon_alloc(9), nbcon_free(9), nbcon_device_try_acquire(9), nbcon_device_release(9), nbcon_kdb_try_acquire(9), nbcon_kdb_release(9), nbcon_write_context_is_braille(9), nbcon_braille_try_acquire(9)

like I said. the whole group chat. 🫶

---

💀 real talk though: nbcon_braille_release is the counterpart to a successful nbcon_braille_try_acquire — no acquire, no release. the manpage keeps it that simple and honestly, respect.
