.SH NAME
transport_remove_device \- remove the visibility of a device
.SH SYNOPSIS
"SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fB
.sp
void transport_remove_device  (struct device * \fIdev\fB);
\fR
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
\fB\fIdev\fB\fR
generic device to remove
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This call removes the visibility of the device (to the user from
sysfs), but does not destroy it.  To eliminate a device entirely
you must also call transport_destroy_device.  If you don't need to
do remove and destroy as separate operations, use
\fBtransport_unregister_device\fR (see transport_class.h) which will
perform both calls for you.
