💖 XFree(3) — XLIB FUNCTIONS bestie check 💖

okay so this is the XFree(3) page, from the XLIB FUNCTIONS crew — yes bestie, we're doing Xlib memory stuff, and it's lowkey important. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

XFree — free client data 💅

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

int XFree(void *data);

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • data — specifies the data that are to be freed. periodt. 💖

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The XFree function is a general-purpose Xlib routine that frees the specified data. The way that it's general-purpose is honestly iconic. ✨

You must use it to free any objects that were allocated by Xlib, unless an alternate function is explicitly specified for the object. No cap — that's the rule, bestie. 🔥

If data is NULL, no operation is performed. So if you're passing NULL, it's giving "nothing happened, and that's valid." 💀
