hdf_destroy(3)

💖 hdf_destroy — bestie, it's time to say goodbye 💖

okay so welcome to the hdf_destroy(3) page, from the util/neo_hdf.h world 🦋 this is the one where we let a data set go. she's done her job, she's served cunt, and now we're freeing her. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

hdf_destroy — deallocate an HDF data set 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <util/neo_hdf.h>

void hdf_destroy (HDF **hdf);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hdf — pointer to an HDF data set that you allocated with hdf_init. yes, it's a pointer to a pointer, she's fancy like that 💖

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so like, hdf_destroy is the function you call when you want to deallocate all the memory associated with an hdf data set. every last byte. gone. released. she's free 🦋

🚨 okay bestie listen, this part is important: even though you can pass an HDF node as an argument to this function, you are likely to cause a segfault if you continue to access the data set afterwards. like, that memory is not yours anymore. do not touch. do not look at it. do not text it back. 😭

also, heads up for the future tea: in the future, we may restrict hdf_destroy so it only works on the top level node. so like, don't get too attached to the node-passing lifestyle, iykyk 🙈

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

None. nothing. void. she gives you nothing back and that's the vibe 💀
