#include <ares.h>

void ares_destroy_options(struct ares_options *options)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so here's the tea: ares_destroy_options(3) destroys the options struct that Ioptions points at. it frees up all the memory that ares_save_options(3) allocated. like, every last byte. no leftovers, no crumbs, we clean up after ourselves in this house πŸ’…

basically it's the "okay we're done here, release the memory" bestie of the options world. you saved 'em, now you destroy 'em. balance. harmony. ✨
