tee_device_put(9)

💅 tee_device_put(9) — kernel API manual, bestie edition

okay so welcome to tee_device_put ✨ this one's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely such a small little function that it's almost shy about it. Let's get into it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tee_device_put — decreases the user count for a tee_device. yes that's it. that's the whole job. it's giving "one line of job description, zero drama." 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void tee_device_put (struct tee_device *teedev );

returns nothing (void, so no refunds, no return values, no surprises 💀), and takes exactly one thing: a pointer to a struct tee_device.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• teedev — pointer to the tee_device. that's the whole arg list. one (1) pointer. iconic minimalism. 💖

like. that is a lot of friends. tee_device_put stays booked and busy, highkey the most social function in the TEE subsystem 🫶

ngl the get/put pairing energy here is real — tee_device_get(9) takes a reference, tee_device_put gives it back. keep that vibe check in mind, iykyk 💅

anyway that's the whole page, mwah, go forth and balance your refcounts 🧚‍♀️💜

this absolute cutie of a manpage lives in ./include/linux, it's dated October 2026, and yes the source is ./include/linux too — documented straight from the source, slay ✨🎀
