yup, that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, don't get creative with it 😭

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• sw — Router to disable CLx for. that's it. that's the parameter. hand it the router, get on with your day. 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Disables all CL states of the given router. all of them. not some, not "the ones you feel like" — every single one. 🔥

and here's the cute part: you can call this on any router. literally any of them. and if the states were not enabled already, it just... does nothing. no drama, no error, no fuss. it just vibes and returns. ✨

lowkey the most well-adjusted function in the whole file tbh 🌈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns the CL states that were disabled, or a negative errno otherwise.

so: a happy little bitmask of what got turned off 💜, or a negative errno if something went sideways 😭 — don't ignore the negative case, bestie, i'm serious.
