tpm_cr50_release_locality(9)

💅 tpm_cr50_release_locality — NAME

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ (that's the manual this page lives in, iykyk). This one's about tpm_cr50_release_locality — and it literally does what it says on the tin: it releases a TPM locality. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int tpm_cr50_release_locality (struct tpm_chip *chip , int loc );

That's the signature, copy it exactly, don't come for me about the spacing 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• chip — a TPM chip. the main character of this whole operation. 👑
• loc — the locality that's getting released. bye babes, it's been real 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN

• 0 — success! slay, it worked, we ate 💅✨
• -errno — a POSIX error code. so like, something went sideways — the negative errno is the receipts. 😭
