reset_control_put(9)

💅 reset_control_put(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about reset_control_put — arguably the most "i'm done here, logging off" function in the whole reset subsystem. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving ✨closure✨.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

reset_control_put — free the reset controller. that's it. that's the whole job. she hands the reset controller back to the universe (well, to the kernel) so somebody else can have a turn 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void reset_control_put (struct reset_control *rstc );

it returns void, so like, don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one, she doesn't owe you that 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rstc — the reset controller. literally just the reset controller you want to free. that's the whole argument list. one (1) thing. iconic minimalism honestly 👑

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

this is the part where it gets sooooo much longer than the actual page lmaooo. it's the friend group, the whole roster, the group chat members list. and before you ask: it's all in the kernel file ./drivers/reset/core.c.

like yes there are twenty-five of them. no i will not be ranking them. okay maybe reset_control_bulk_put(9) is her sibling and they're both slaying 🧚

also quick vibe check: reset_control_put is the counterpart to the "get" side of things — it's the free. don't leave it hanging, that's a leak, and leaks are not the aesthetic 🙈
