💖 vme_master_free(9) — freeing the VME master window, bestie 💖

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's the vme_master_free(9) one. It's short, it's iconic, and it is literally about cleaning up a VME master resource so it can come back later. 🎀✨

✨ NAME ✨

vme_master_free — Free VME master window

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

void vme_master_free (struct vme_resource *resource );

yep, that's the whole signature: void return, one argument named resource, and that space before the closing paren is staying exactly as it is. periodt. 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• resource — pointer to VME master resource.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Free the provided master resource so that it may be reallocated. That's the whole plot, no cap: you hand over the master resource, it gets freed, and then it may be reallocated later. ✨🦋
