### RMDestroyAdapter - Remarks

Although normal driver execution results in adapter-node creation, there are also environments where adapter node destruction is needed. PCMCIA and docking stations are two environments where the adapter-node destruction service is useful.

Destroying an adapter also destroys any child devices associated with the adapter. Any resource handles allocated to the adapter or child devices are released, as well.
