phy_remove_lookup(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💫 phy_remove_lookup — kernel API manual, section 9 💫

ok so bestie, welcome to the phy_remove_lookup(9) page 💅 this little cutie lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and she's here to break up a situationship. literally a matchmaker in reverse. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

phy_remove_lookup — find and remove PHY/device association

like, find the association and un-associate it. it's giving "we need to talk" 😭

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void phy_remove_lookup (struct phy *phy , const char *con_id , const
char *dev_id );

no cap, that's the whole signature — it returns void, so there's nothing to check, she just does the thing and dips 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phy — the phy of the association. yeah. that phy. the main character of this whole operation ✨
  • con_id — connection ID string on device 🔗
  • dev_id — the device of the association 📱

all three together = the full identity of the association you're about to yeet 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function finds and unregisters the phy_lookup entry that was created with phy_create_lookup. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's the undo button for the lookup-creation button, fr fr 🙈

so if you (or some other part of the kernel) made a lookup earlier, this is how you take it back out. no leftover association, no messy ex, just clean removal 🧹✨

lowkey important: this is the official counterpart to phy_create_lookup — the docs say the entry it unregisters is one "created with phy_create_lookup". so keep that pairing in your head, bestie 🫶
