πŸ’– XmFontListFree πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about XmFontListFree from the library call section of the manual, and honestly? she's a lil legend. this is a font list function whose whole entire job is recovering memory used by a font list. that's it. that's the girl. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

XmFontListFree β€” a font list function that recovers memory used by a font list πŸ’…

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
void XmFontListFree(
XmFontList list);

like, that's the whole signature. no return value, no drama, just vibes and a void. πŸ¦‹

🫢 DESCRIPTION 🫢

okay so here's the tea: XmFontListFree recovers memory used by a font list. that's her main character moment, that's her whole arc, she ate and left no crumbs.

⚠️ BUT. and this is the important part, bestie, do NOT skip this. this routine does not free the XFontSet or XFontStruct associated with the specified font list. she's freeing the list, not the fonts living inside it. do not come for her about the fonts. she was never gonna touch the fonts. 🚫

now the parameter, because we love a good parameter:

  • list β€” specifies the font list to be freed. that's the one. that's the only argument. she takes one (1) font list and she sends it to the void. 😌

the besties she rolls with, fr fr:


and that's the page, babes ✨ this was XmFontListFree(library call) β€” no fancy date stamp or version number on this one, she's timeless like that πŸ’œ go forth, free your font lists, and remember: the XFontSet and XFontStruct stay exactly where they are. periodt. πŸŒˆπŸ“
