💖 snd_hdac_stream_release(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is snd_hdac_stream_release, section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the "give it back" function. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

snd_hdac_stream_release — release the assigned stream

like, you borrowed a stream, and now you're politely handing it back. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void snd_hdac_stream_release (struct hdac_stream *azx_dev );

note that void bestie — this one does not come back with a little report card. it just does the thing. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • azx_dev — the HD-audio core stream to release. yes, this exact one. the one you're holding. give it here. 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Release the stream that has been assigned by snd_hdac_stream_assign.

that's it, that's the whole story. you called snd_hdac_stream_assign earlier and it handed you a stream, and now — because you're a responsible main character — you call snd_hdac_stream_release to let it go. iconic behavior only. periodt. ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈
