xs_destroy(9)

💅 xs_destroy(9) — bestie edition

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and yeah it's technically called xs_destroy(9) but we're gonna get into it together, no stress 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

xs_destroy — the lil "prepare to shutdown a transport" moment. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void xs_destroy (struct rpc_xprt *xprt );

literally returns void, so like… no receipts, no return value, she just does the thing and leaves 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• xprt — the doomed transport. and yes bestie the manpage fr fr said doomed, like this is not a drill, this transport's main character arc is ending 😭 this is the struct rpc_xprt pointer you're sending off.

lowkey important: this whole page is about preparing to shut a transport down. it said "prepare to shutdown a transport" and i'm not gonna add lore that isn't there. that's the assignment. 💅

---

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay this is the part where the page just. keeps going. and going. and i respect it honestly — she's thorough. all of these live in the kernel file ./net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c 🌈
