XMFONTLISTENTRYFREE(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XmFontListEntryFree — a font list function that recovers memory used by a font list entry 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
void XmFontListEntryFree(
XmFontListEntry *entry);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie so XmFontListEntryFree does exactly one job and she does it well: she recovers the memory used by a font list entry ✨ like, she's the cleanup crew, the little fairy that comes in after the party and takes the trash out 🧚

⚠️ but listen — this routine does not free the XFontSet or XFontStruct associated with the font list entry. those are a whole separate situation, do not come for them, she is not touching them, no cap 💀

• entry — Specifies a pointer to the font list entry to be freed. 👑 also!! it may be necessary to take the address of the font list entry (via the & operator) before passing it to this function. so like… sometimes you gotta hand her the pointer-to-the-pointer, not just the pointer. the way that & operator is doing the most for no reason 😭
