iob_adds_free(3)

💖 iob_adds_free — bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this one's from the Library Functions Manual, and it's a lil three-second read, so let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

iob_adds_free — add buffer to I/O batch 💅

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/iob.h>

void iob_adds_free(io_batch* b,const char* s);

like. that's the whole thing. short king behavior 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so iob_adds_free schedules the ASCIIZ C string s to be written with the I/O batch b. that's it, that's the job. it doesn't write it this instant, it's not doing the most — it's just like "yeah bestie, noted, we'll get to it" 🎀

and here's the part that makes it free in the name: iob_reset will deallocate the string automatically. so once you've handed that string over, you do NOT need to sit there freeing it yourself. iob_reset has it. it's handled. main character energy from iob_reset fr fr 😭

⚠️ lowkey important: the deallocation happens via iob_reset, not by magic and not by vibes. that's the mechanism, that's the deal 🫶
