.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
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\&.
.PP
The parport structure associated with the port has its operations structure replaced with one containing \*(Aqnull\*(Aq operations that return errors or just don\*(Aqt do anything\&.
.PP
Any drivers that have registered themselves using
\fBparport_register_driver\fR
are notified that the port is no longer accessible by having their
\fBdetach\fR
routines called with
\fIport\fR
as the parameter\&.
