# transport\_destroy\_device(9)

destroy a removed device

## NAME

transport\_destroy\_device - destroy a removed device

## SYNOPSIS

**void transport\_destroy\_device(struct device \*** *dev***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*dev*

device to eliminate from the transport class.

## DESCRIPTION

This call triggers the elimination of storage associated with the transport classdev. Note: all it really does is relinquish a reference to the classdev. The memory will not be freed until the last reference goes to zero. Note also that the classdev retains a reference count on dev, so dev too will remain for as long as the transport class device remains around.
