NAME
       ieee1284_release - release a port

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ieee1284.h>

       void ieee1284_release(struct parport *port);

DESCRIPTION
       This function undoes the effect of ieee1284_claim(3) by releasing the port for use by other drivers. It is good practice to release the
       port whenever convenient. If it is never convenient to do so, the F1284_EXCL flag should be specified at initialization.
