sxgbe_release(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to sxgbe_release(9) from the Kernel API Manual 😌✨. This page is all about sxgbe_release, and its NAME tea is: it is the close entry point of the driver. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature, and yes, copy it exactly — no autocorrect, no renaming, no "improving" it:

int sxgbe_release (struct net_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — device pointer. literally the pointer to the device. that's the argument, bestie. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is the stop entry point of the driver. so when the driver is stopping, this is the entry point for that. no cap. It's also the close entry point from NAME, so yeah, closing/stopping energy. 😭✨
