regulator_bulk_free(9)

💅 regulator_bulk_free — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

Hey bestie, welcome to regulator_bulk_free(9) from the Kernel API Manual 🎀 — yes, we're doing kernel regulator stuff today, and honestly? It's giving cleanup-era main character energy.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

regulator_bulk_free — free multiple regulator consumers

Like, plural. A whole friend group of them. One call. Iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void regulator_bulk_free (int num_consumers , struct regulator_bulk_data
*consumers );

That's the whole vibe — no return value, it just does the thing and dips 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• num_consumers — Number of consumers. Yep, that's literally it — how many of them you're rounding up for the freeing party 🎉
• consumers — Consumer data; clients are stored here. This is the spot where all your regulator clients are hanging out, so it's also the spot they get freed from.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea: this convenience API lets consumers free multiple regulator clients in a single API call. No cap. Instead of writing out a whole lil' loop of individual frees, you just pass the count and the array and let it handle business ✨ Convenience, periodt.
