DMMP_CONTEXT_FREE(3)

💖 dmmp_context_free — the libdmmp manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Device Mapper Multipath API — libdmmp manual, and it's all about dmmp_context_free(3). it's short, it's sweet, it's a lil cleanup queen. let's get into it 🧹✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dmmp_context_free — release the memory of struct dmmp_context.

like, it's the goodbye-hun function. the "we're done here, you can go now" function. so iconic of it 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void dmmp_context_free (struct dmmp_context *ctx);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no return value, just vibes and freedom 🦋

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ctx — a pointer of struct dmmp_context. yeah, just hand over the pointer and let it do its thing 🫶

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what this does is release the memory of struct dmmp_context. bye bye, allocated memory, you served well 😭

BUT. and this is the part you need to hear, bestie — the userdata memory defined via dmmp_context_userdata_set will not be touched. not touched. not freed. not handled. it's giving "not my problem, that's your data, you deal with it" 🙈

so don't be out here thinking this function cleans up everything, because it does NOT. it frees the context, periodt. the userdata is on you, fr fr.

lowkey important: if you set userdata with dmmp_context_userdata_set, this function will not free it. you gotta handle that yourself. no cap 💀

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

void

nothing comes back. no value, no error code, no drama. it just does the thing and dips 👑

---

and that's the whole page, bestie!! slay 💜

this was from the libdmmp manual, page dmmp_context_free, and the source/version line was dated June 2025 — so yeah, freshly stamped, cute, and current 🌸✨

catch you in the next manpage, mwah 🫶💖
