IXP_CLOSE(3)

💅 IXP_CLOSE(3) — the <pink>ixp_close</pink> era 🎀

okay so bestie, this one is from the Library Functions Manual and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving cleanup arc ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixp_close — the lil function that says "we're done here" to your file 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ixp.h>

int ixp_close(IxpCFid *f);

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. one include, one call, one IxpCFid * pointer named f 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: ixp_close closes the file pointed to by f and frees its associated data structures 🔥

that's the whole function. it closes, it frees, it leaves. no cap. the way it just handles the associated data structures for you is genuinely main character energy 👑

⚠️ heads up: after this call, f is done-zo. the data structures it was pointing at are freed, so don't go back for seconds, iykyk 😭

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

• 1 — success, slay, we ate 💅✨
• 0 — failure, not the vibe, something went sideways 🙈

(fr fr, it's 1 on success and zero on failure — remember it's zero, not -1, bestie, don't get got by muscle memory 🍓)

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• ixp_mount(3) — the mount-y bestie 🧚
• ixp_open(3) — the open-y bestie, i.e. the one you probably called right before this one 👑

that's the whole page, honestly iconic of it to be this concise 💜
