💖 nfp_cpp_mutex_free(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, bestie — the whole thing is called nfp_cpp_mutex_free(9) and it's lowkey short but it's important, so pay attention 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nfp_cpp_mutex_free — free a mutex handle. and that's it. it does not alter the lock state. not even a little. no cap 💅

like, it's giving "i'm just letting go of the handle, not touching the actual lock" — the lock itself stays exactly the way you left it, bestie 😭

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void nfp_cpp_mutex_free (struct nfp_cpp_mutex *mutex );

that's the whole signature, iconically returning void ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀
