tty_flush_works(9)

🎀 tty_flush_works(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to tty_flush_works(9) from the Kernel API Manual. This is the page about flushing all works of a tty/pty pair, and honestly? iconic cleanup behavior. 🧼✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tty_flush_works — flush all works of a tty/pty pair.

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

void tty_flush_works (struct tty_struct *tty );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• tty — tty device to flush works for (or either end of a pty pair). lowkey flexible, bestie. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the assignment is simple: Sync flush all works belonging to tty (and the 'other' tty). That’s it. That’s the vibe. no extra side quests, just flushing the works for the tty you passed in — and the other end of the pair too. 💖
