DC_DEVICE_CLOSE(3)

💅 DC_DEVICE_CLOSE(3) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual bestie, and it's about closing your dive computer device. yes, actually. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

dc_device_close — close a dive computer device

like... bye-bye dive computer 👋🎀

📚 LIBRARY 📚

you're gonna need the library: libdivecomputer. that's the one. that's the vibe. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libdivecomputer/device.h>

dc_status_t
dc_device_close(dc_device_t *device);

so you include that header, and then you call dc_device_close() on your dc_device_t *device and it hands you back a dc_status_t. that's it. that's the whole thing. ⭐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the way that this works is: it closes a dive computer device that you previously opened with dc_device_open(3). that's literally it. that's the job. 🔥

and here's the little detail that matters: if device is NULL, this returns DC_STATUS_SUCCESS. so like... passing NULL isn't a crime, it just happily succeeds. iconic. no cap. 💅

💜 RETURN VALUES 💜

it returns DC_STATUS_SUCCESS on success 🎀 — or, bestie, it returns one of several error values on error 😭. so check your status, okay? don't just ignore it. vibe check your return value fr fr.
