💖 sas_rphy_free(9) 💖

so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel, bestie, we're in the big leagues now 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

sas_rphy_free — free a SAS remote PHY 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sas_rphy_free (struct sas_rphy *rphy );

like, that's it. one line. void, so nothing comes back. she just frees and dips 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• rphy — the SAS remote PHY you're about to free 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so literally what it says on the tin: it frees the SAS remote PHY you handed it. that exact one. the one in rphy. gone. released. bye bestie 👋

---

✨ NOTE ✨

⚠️ GIRL. READ THIS. ⚠️

this function must only be called on a remote PHY that has not successfully been added using sas_rphy_add — or one that has already been sas_rphy_remove'd. that's it. those are the only two valid situations. no cap, don't get cute with it or you will have a bad time 💀
