BSON_STRING_FREE(3)

💖 BSON_STRING_FREE 💖

okay bestie so we're in the libbson manual, section 3, and today's main character is bson_string_free — she's here, she's serving, and she's lowkey retired 😭 so read the warning before you get attached, fr fr.

---

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

Deprecated since version 1.29.0. 🚫 She's a legacy icon, not a current one. Do not build new stuff on this, bestie, I'm begging. 💀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

char *
bson_string_free (bson_string_t *string, bool free_segment);

like… that's it. two args. she's simple. she's elegant. she's deprecated. 🌸

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• string — a bson_string_t. that's the girl. the whole point. the moment. 👑
• free_segment — a bool that tells us whether string->str should be freed. so it's giving "do we also throw out the actual text, or are we keeping it?" 🦋

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Frees the bson_string_t structure — and optionally string->str too, depending on what you said for free_segment. not me giving you a choice, bestie, that's literally what the flag is for 😌✨

---

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

• if free_segment is false → you get string->str back 🫶
• otherwise → NULL 🙈

that's the whole vibe check. no cap.
