💅 thermal_zone...e_unregister(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 this one's short and sweet, so honestly? we can absolutely get through it together. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

thermal_zone_device_unregister — literally removes the registered thermal zone device 🫶 that's it. that's the whole job. she deregisters, she leaves, she doesn't look back.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void thermal_zone_device_unregister (struct thermal_zone_device *tz );

the way it's void?? she gives nothing back. returns no value. iconic behavior honestly 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• tz — the thermal zone device to remove 🧚 bestie this is the one u are unregistering. hand her over and she's out. (type is struct thermal_zone_device *, keep that pointer exact, mwah 💖)

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

ok so if u wanna go deeper (and u KNOW u do), go peek at the kernel file ./drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c ✨ and also the whole friend group:

• bind_previous_governor(9)
• thermal_set_governor(9)
• thermal_bind_cdev_to_trip(9)
• thermal_unbind_cdev_from_trip(9)
• thermal_cooling_device_register(9)
• devm_thermal_cooling_device_register(9)
• thermal_cooling_device_update(9)
• thermal_cooling_device_unregister(9)
• thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips(9)
• thermal_zone_get_zone_by_name(9)

like, the register ones and the unregister ones are sisters fr fr 🫶 it's giving matching outfits.

lowkey reminder: tz gets removed. so like, don't be out here using it after. that's the vibe check. 👑 (no extra lore added, that's just what "remove" means bestie, i'm not making stuff up 💀)
