stop(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to stop(9) — she's a lil function from the Kernel API Manual and her whole entire job is: stops the ll2. that's it. that's the vibe. short, iconic, to the point. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int stop (struct qed_dev *cdev );

literally the whole signature, no cap. takes one thing, hands you back an int. 🦋

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• cdev — the Qed dev pointer. that's your one (1) input, bestie. she needs the pointer, you give her the pointer. mutual respect. 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success — slay, we love a clean zero 💖
• otherwise you get an error value — not zero, so like… something went sideways 😭
