CSA_FREE(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the csa_free(library call) page, bestie, and the function itself is csa_free — it frees memory allocated by the calendaring service 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the literal signature is giving:

#include &<xcsa.h>
CSA_return_code csa_free(
CSA_buffer memory);

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The csa_free function frees memory allocated by the calendaring service. After the call, the pointer memory will be invalid and should not be referenced again — no cap, do not touch it after this 😭

When any CSA function allocates and returns a buffer to the application, the application will free that memory with this call when it is finished with the memory. that’s the whole vibe 💅

When a CSA function returns a base pointer to a complex structure containing several levels of pointers, all the application will do to free the entire structure or array of structures is call this routine with the base pointer returned by the CSA function. iconic behavior, honestly ✨

The CSA functions that return structures of this form are csa_list_calendars(3), csa_look_up(3), csa_query_configuration(3), csa_list_calendar_attributes(3), csa_read_calendar_attributes(3), csa_free_time_search(3), csa_add_entry(3), csa_list_entries(3), csa_list_entry_attributes(3), csa_list_entry_sequence(3), csa_read_entry_attributes(3), and csa_read_next_reminder(3), csa_update_entry_attributes(3). 🦋

The behavior of csa_free(3) is undefined when called with a pointer to a memory block not allocated by the calendaring service, a pointer to a memory block that has already been freed, or a pointer contained in a structure returned by the CSA implementation. undefined means danger zone, bestie — do not play 💀

In some situations, the extensions specified for a function may be a combination of input and output extensions. In this case, the memory returned in the output extensions must be freed one at a time using csa_free(3). one at a time, okay? 🫶

💭 ARGUMENTS 💭

🍓 Memory (Buffer) 🍓

A pointer to memory allocated by the calendaring service. A value of NULL will be ignored, but will return the return code CSA_SUCCESS. yes bestie, ignored but still a success code — that’s the tea 🌸

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

Whether the function succeeded or not, and, if not, why. It may be success or one of the values listed under ERRORS below. 💖

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

The csa_free function returns the following error values:

• CSA_E_FAILURE — There was a general failure that does not fit the description of any other error code. 😭
• CSA_E_INVALID_MEMORY — A function parameter was invalid. 🙈
