uif_close(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, this is uif_close(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it does exactly what it says on the tin: close user interfaces for an UBI device. iconic little cleanup function, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void uif_close (struct ubi_device *ubi );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ubi — UBI device description object. that’s the whole vibe check for this one 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Note, bestie: since this function un-registers UBI volume device objects (vol->dev), the memory allocated voe the volumes is freed as well (in the release function). so yeah — it’s giving cleanup era, and the release function is doing its little part too. ✨
