✨ EC_INTERA...MPLETIONS(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Libecoli Programmer's Manual — yes the manual name got shortened with an ellipsis in the header, that's just how they do, and we're keeping it. sit down, hydrate, we're learning about freeing memory today 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_interact_free_completions — free the array of completion matches.

like, it does exactly what it says on the tin, no cap. the matches go poof. 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ecoli/interact.h>

void ec_interact_free_completions(
    char   **matches,  /* The array of matches. */
    size_t   n         /* The size of the array. */
);

so you need <ecoli/interact.h> in your life first, and then it's giving void — meaning it hands you back absolutely nothing, because it's too busy cleaning up after you. icon behaviour honestly 👑

two things it wants:

• matches — the array of matches. it's a char **, so it's a lil array of strings, the whole squad 💅
• n — the size of the array. a size_t, so it knows exactly how many besties to say bye to.

lowkey important: this is the cleanup crew. if you called something like ec_interact_get_completions(3) and got an array back, this is how you let it go. don't ghost your memory, bestie. 🧚
