π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
#include <aalib.h>

π PARAMETERS π
aa_context *cβ bestie, this is the AA-lib context you wanna operate on. like, which one. point at it. that's the one getting closed. β¨
π DESCRIPTION π
So what this actually does: it uninitializes all the activated drivers and frees the memory that the context structures were using. that's it. that's the whole function. it's the "okay bye, thanks for coming, we're done here" of AA-lib π
think of it as the main character exit. everything you turned on with the init functions, this turns off, and all that memory gets released back to the universe. iconic. periodt. π
