sas_rphy_delete(9)

💅 sas_rphy_delete(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition

okay so you're reading the sas_rphy_delete page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one. a little snack. a mini read. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sas_rphy_delete — remove and free a SAS remote PHY, both at once, no cap

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sas_rphy_delete (struct sas_rphy *rphy );

like, that's the whole signature. returns void, takes one pointer. iconic behaviour tbh 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rphy — the SAS remote PHY you want to remove and free. that's it. that's the argument. she's the main character of this function 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she do? Removes the specified SAS remote PHY and frees it. yep — both verbs, one call. remove, then free. boom. done. it's giving "one-stop shop", it's giving efficiency, it's giving sas_rphy_delete 🧚

heads up bestie: this one function does two things (remove and free), so don't go calling a separate free afterwards thinking you're being thorough. the manpage says what it says 💅
