🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int wdt_temp_release (struct inode *inode , struct file *file );

there it is. the whole function signature, no cap. returns an int, takes those two pointers, and yes the spacing is exactly like that, don't come for me 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• inode — the inode that's headed to the board, bestie. that's the one.
• file — the file handle that's also headed to the board. matching set ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖
