💅 smb2_close_pipe(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it a group chat

okay so bestie, you found it: smb2_close_pipe, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. It's the handler for closing an IPC pipe. That's the whole vibe. Short page, iconic energy, no notes. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

smb2_close_pipe — handler for closing IPC pipe 🚪💨

Like, that's literally her job. Closing the pipe. Doing it well. Slaying.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int smb2_close_pipe (struct ksmbd_work *work );

yep, that's it. one function, one argument, one int coming back at you. not me being obsessed with how clean this signature is 😭

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• work — the smb work that's holding the close request buffer. think of it as the little bag she carries the request around in 🫶

---

💖 RETURN 💖

0

that's it. that's the return value. zero. flawless. we love a consistent queen ✨
