vmw_bo_unmap(9)

💅 vmw_bo_unmap(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's about one (1) tiny little function that undoes a thing. short page, huge "clean up after yourself" energy. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_bo_unmap — tear down a cached buffer object map. literally that's it, that's the whole job. it's giving janitor of the GPU world and honestly? iconic. 🧹✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void vmw_bo_unmap (struct vmw_bo *vbo );

no return value, no drama, it just does the thing and dips. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vbo — the buffer object whose map we are tearing down. yes bestie, this one, the one right there. point at it and let it go 😭

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so basically this function tears down a cached map that was set up using vmw_bo_map_and_cache. that's the whole arc. you cached it, now you're un-caching it. closure. character development. main character energy from start to finish 👑

no cap, that's genuinely all the manpage says about it — it's a short king of a function and we respect it. ⭐
