πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– octep_free_oq β€” the Kernel API Manual moment where we say bye to an Rx queue πŸ’–

Okay so bestie, picture this: you've got an Rx queue, it's been living its best life, and now it's time to let it go. That's literally this function. It's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving "cleanup era" ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int octep_free_oq (struct octep_oq *oq );

It returns an int, takes one pointer, and honestly? It's lowkey the responsible friend who makes sure everyone gets home safe 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • oq β€” your Octeon Rx queue data structure. That's the one, the main character, the struct we're about to tuck into bed πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Free all resources of a Rx queue. Not some of them. Not most of them. All of them, bestie. Every last one πŸ”₯

Like, the whole point is that after this call, the Rx queue's resources are released β€” that's it, that's the gig πŸ‘‘
