PARPORT_REMOVE_PORT(9) Parallel Port Devices PARPORT_REMOVE_PORT(9)
NAME
parport_remove_port - deregister a parallel port
SYNOPSIS
void parport_remove_port(struct parport * port);
ARGUMENTS
port
parallel port to deregister
DESCRIPTION
When a parallel port driver is forcibly unloaded, or a parallel port becomes inaccessible, the port driver must call this function in order
to deal with device drivers that still want to use it.
The parport structure associated with the port has its operations structure replaced with one containing 'null' operations that return
errors or just don't do anything.
Any drivers that have registered themselves using parport_register_driver are notified that the port is no longer accessible by having
their detach routines called with port as the parameter.
