ARES_FREEADDRINFO(3)

✨ ares_freeaddrinfo — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to ARES_FREEADDRINFO(3), part of the Library Functions Manual 💖 this is the page about cleaning up your lil memory mess, and honestly? she's a short queen but she MATTERS. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ares_freeaddrinfo — frees the addrinfo structure that got allocated by ares functions 🧚 no leaks, no chaos, just tidy vibes.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lowkey the whole thing is two lines. iconic behavior honestly:

#include <ares.h>

void ares_freeaddrinfo(struct ares_addrinfo *ai)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea ☕ the ares_freeaddrinfo function frees a struct ares_addrinfo that came back to you as the result of an ares_addrinfo_callback 💖

like, you got handed this whole struct through the callback, and now it's your job to let it go. be the bigger person. free it. it's giving closure ✨

no cap, if you don't free it, that's a leak, and leaks are not main character energy 💀
