buffer_close(3)

✨ NAME ✨

buffer_close — close buffer 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Library Functions Manual, and today's main character is buffer_close. She does exactly one thing and she does it flawlessly. 💅

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

#include <libowfat/buffer.h>

void buffer_close(buffer* b);

yes, that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, zero drama. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

buffer_close closes the file that's associated with the buffer, and it frees/unmaps the memory that's associated with the buffer if buffer_init_free or buffer_mmapread were used. 🫶

so like — the close-the-file part? always happening. the free/unmap-the-memory part? that's conditional, bestie, it only kicks in when you set things up with buffer_init_free or buffer_mmapread. no cap. 🌸

not me reading "frees/unmaps" twice to make sure I got it right — because both of those words are doing work and you need both of them. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• buffer_init(3)
• buffer_init_free(3)
• buffer_mmapread(3)

the whole squad, honestly. go say hi. 👑

and that's the tea 🍓 this lil page is buffer_close(3) from the Library Functions Manual, and it's signed off the same way it came in — just buffer_close(3), no source, no version, no date, just vibes. periodt. 💜
