✨ pps_gen_unregister_source ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to pps_gen_unregister_source(9) from the Kernel API Manual β€” section 9, kernel space, the whole vibe πŸ’… this one is short and sweet but it's literally the breakup function for PPS generators, so let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

pps_gen_unregister_source β€” remove a PPS generator from the system 🧚

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void pps_gen_unregister_source (struct pps_gen_device *pps_gen );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • pps_gen β€” the PPS generator device to be removed πŸ‘‹ like, the actual one you're kicking out of the system

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

This function is used to deregister a PPS generator from the system, no cap. When you call it, it disables the generator so no pulses are generated anymore β€” that's it, that's the whole gig πŸ’€ the pulses just… stop. iconic behaviour tbh.

ngl it's giving "turning off the tap" energy β€” call it and the pulse party is over πŸ”₯

  • pps_gen_register_source(9) β€” the opposite bestie, the one that adds a generator instead ✨ (iykyk, they're a matching set)

and that's the whole page, bestie πŸ’œ this little cutie lives at ./drivers/pps/generators, dated October 2026 in the Kernel API Manual β€” mwah, slay, go unregister something responsibly πŸ™ˆπŸŽ€
