💖 GFS_STAT_FREE(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Gfarm corner of the manual, section 3, and today we're talking about gfs_stat_free — yes, the cleanup queen herself. GFS_STAT_FREE(3) 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gfs_stat_free — free dynamic memory of file status 🧹💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gfarm/gfarm.h>

void gfs_stat_free(struct gfs_stat * status);

look at her. short. iconic. no return value because she simply does not need one. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, gfs_stat_free() frees the memory space of file status status — and like, that memory? It was allocated by gfs_stat(3). 🎀

Translation for the besties: you called gfs_stat(3), it handed you a shiny dynamically-allocated struct gfs_stat *, and now you're done with it. You don't just leave it there. You call gfs_stat_free() on it and let it go. It's giving responsible memory management. It's giving main character energy but for your heap. 😭✨

important vibe check: this function frees the memory space of the file status status that was allocated by gfs_stat(3). Don't be out here passing it pointers from anywhere else, okay? 🙈
