💖 trace_put_event_file(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for trace_put_event_file(9) — and yes, it’s giving cleanup-era main character energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

trace_put_event_file — release a file from trace_get_event_file() 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void trace_put_event_file (struct trace_event_file *file );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• file — the trace event file, periodt 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here’s the vibe: if a file was retrieved using trace_get_event_file, this should be called when it’s no longer needed. no cap, it’s the “we’re done here” moment 🧚

it will cancel the previous trace_array_get called by that function, and decrement the event's module refcount. that’s literally the whole job — tidy, iconic, done 🔥
