💖 rsi_mac80211_remove_interface(9) 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and bestie, it's a short one but it's important. buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

rsi_mac80211_remove_interface — this function notifies the driver that an interface is going down. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's the goodbye text, the "we're so over" moment between the kernel and the driver 💔

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void rsi_mac80211_remove_interface (struct ieee80211_hw *hw , struct ieee80211_vif *vif );

literally just those two arguments. no return value. clean, minimal, iconic. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — a pointer to the ieee80211_hw structure. yeah, that one. the hardware rep. 🖥️
• vif — a pointer to the ieee80211_vif structure. the virtual interface bestie in question. 📡

two pointers. that's the guest list. no plus-ones. 💅

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

None. — nothing. nada. it returns void, so don't go looking for a result, there isn't one, and honestly? respect. some functions just do their thing and leave. 🫶

no cap, if you're waiting on a return value from this one you're gonna be waiting forever 😭
