💅 vmw_stdu_destroy(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_stdu_destroy — cleans up a vmw_screen_target_display_unit

like, she takes the whole thing down and tidies up after it. no crumbs left. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void vmw_stdu_destroy (struct vmw_screen_target_display_unit *stdu );

that's it. one function, one pointer, zero drama (the good kind of zero drama). 🌈

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• stdu — the Screen Target Display Unit that's getting destroyed 👑 this is the poor little thing being cleaned up, so like… handle with care, she's had a day.

---

🌟 DESCRIPTION 🌟

okay so the whole vibe here is: clean up after vmw_stdu_init. that's literally it. vmw_stdu_init did the setting-up, and vmw_stdu_destroy is the responsible bestie who comes back later and puts all the furniture back where it was. 🫶

no cap, it's the undo button. the "ok we're done here" text. the graceful exit. 💅
