💅 Trf_DeleteCtrlBlock — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual, and it's all about Trf_DeleteCtrlBlock(3) — yes, the whole vibe is cleanup era. Let's get into it 🧹✨

✨ NAME ✨

Trf_DeleteCtrlBlock — it's the interface to the procedure that destroys encoder/decoder control structures. like, the goodbye-girlie procedure. the "we're clearing the table" moment. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <transform.h>

void Trf_DeleteCtrlBlock
(
     Trf_ControlBlock ctrlBlock,
     ClientData clientData
);

look at her. so simple. so powerful. no return value, she just does the thing. 💅

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • Trf_ControlBlock ctrlBlock — the control structure you're about to send to the shadow realm 💀. this is the one getting destroyed, no cap.
  • ClientData clientData — arbitrary information, exactly as defined in Trf_TypeDefinition.clientData. it's giving "whatever extra stuff you wanted to bring along" energy 🎒

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — it is the responsibility of the procedure to clear and release all memory associated with the specified control structure. all of it. every last byte. no crumbs left behind 🍓

and important detail: that control structure must have been created by the appropriate procedure of type 'Trf_CreateCtrlBlock'. like, you can't just hand her any random struct and expect a clean exit — she's the counterpart to Trf_CreateCtrlBlock, they're a matched set, it's giving soulmate coding 💖

🌈 reminder: the memory-clearing is on you, the procedure author. this page is telling you what your procedure is supposed to do, not doing it for you. main character responsibility energy, fr fr.
