📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 vmw_view_res_free 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the vmw_view_res_free(9) page — that's a section 9 kernel API manual entry, and honestly? it's a little icon and you're gonna get it in like thirty seconds.

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_view_res_free — the resource res_free callback for view resources. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's a callback. it frees stuff. main character energy fr fr 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vmw_view_res_free (struct vmw_resource *res );

no cap, that's the entire signature. one function, one arg, void return because we're not about to hand you back a status code, we're just gonna do the thing 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • res — a pointer to a struct vmw_resource. that's the one (1) thing you gotta give it, bestie. just the pointer. hand it over 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it actually do? it frees the memory held by the struct vmw_view. that's the whole job. memory held by the view → freed. clean. simple. slay ✨

like, genuinely, this is one of those little functions that just does its one task and doesn't make a whole production of it. respect. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so there's a whole friend group here and you should lowkey meet all of them:

iykyk 😭 that's the entire squad, go read all of them, they're all in the same kernel file neighborhood 🍓

ngl bestie, this one's short and sweet — no flags, no env vars, no exit statuses, no warnings, no bug notes. just a callback doing its little job. sometimes that's enough 💀✨

and that's the page!! brought to you by the fine folks over at ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, version vibes from October 2026 — mwah, love that for us, see you in the next manpage bestie 🧚💖
