relay_reset(9)

🦋 relay_reset — reset the channel 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the relay_reset(9) glow-up — this is straight from the Kernel API Manual, and yes it's giving "tiny function, big consequences" energy 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

relay_reset — reset the channel 🔄

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void relay_reset (struct rchan *chan );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• chan — the channel. that's it, that's the whole argument, it's the channel bestie 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what does this icon actually do? Basically: it erases all data from all channel buffers and restarts the channel in its initial state. Like a full factory reset but for your relay channel ✨

The buffers are not freed, though — so any mappings are still in effect. no cap, they stick around 👑

⚠️ NOTE. Care should be taken that the channel isn't actually being used by anything when this call is made. fr fr, do the vibe check first — don't reset a channel that's mid-character-arc, that's not the move 😭💀
