EC_INTERACT_FREE_HELPS(3)

💖 EC_INTERACT_FREE_HELPS(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the libecoli Programmer's Manual, section 3 — the part where we talk about freeing contextual helps. yeah. freeing. like when you finally clean your room and it's giving main character energy. 🧹✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_interact_free_helps — bestie, this one frees your contextual helps. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ecoli/interact.h>

void ec_interact_free_helps(
    struct ec_interact_help   *helps,  /* The helps array. */
    size_t                     n       /* The array size. */
);

like, you include <ecoli/interact.h> first, no cap. then you call it with your helps array and how many of them there are. 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. ec_interact_free_helps() frees the helps that you generated earlier with ec_interact_get_helps() or ec_interact_get_error_helps(). that's literally it. it's the cleanup era. the letting-go arc. 🌈

if you made them, you free them. periodt. ✨

---

🎀 STRUCTURES 🎀

here's the structure that describes a contextual help, queen:

struct ec_interact_help {
};

yep. that's the whole thing. it's giving mysterious. it's giving "the internals are not your business bestie." 🙈

no cap, always pair this with the get that made your helps, or you're just leaking memory and that's not the vibe. 🫶
