✨ bson_writer_destroy(3) ✨

okay so this is a page from the libbson manual, and it's about bson_writer_destroy — yes bestie, the cleanup function 💅 every main character needs a good cleanup arc.

🫶 SYNOPSIS

void
bson_writer_destroy (bson_writer_t *writer);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. void in, void out, no return value, no drama 🎀

🌸 PARAMETERS

  • writer — a bson_writer_t. that's the whole parameter list, she's low maintenance ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION

so like, this is the part where you clean up after writer and release any memory she allocated. think of it as the after-party cleanup — somebody's gotta do it and it's you 🧹✨

does nothing if writer is NULL. so if you're passing a null pointer, the function just... politely minds her own business. no crash, no scene, iconic behaviour fr 💀

🚨 IMPORTANT CAREFUL BESTIE 🚨 the buffer you supplied to bson_writer_new() is NOT freed by this method. like, at all. that's not her job. the caller is responsible for that — that means you, babe 😭 don't be out here leaking buffers and blaming her.
