IXP_FREESTAT(3)

💅 ixp_freestat + ixp_freefcall: the libixp cleanup besties 💅

okay bestie, this is the IXP_FREESTAT(3) page from the library functions manual — manual name folded in near the top, we move ✨. It’s giving “please clean up your malloc(3) mess before you leave the group chat.”

✨ NAME ✨

ixp_freestat, ixp_freefcall — the cleanup duo, here to free the little guys inside your structs 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

include the header first, obviously:

#include <ixp.h>

void ixp_freestat(IxpStat *s);

void ixp_freefcall(IxpFcall *fcall);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here’s the vibe: these functions free malloc(3) allocated data in the members of the passed structures and set those members to nil. That’s the whole slay. ✨

They do not free the structures themselves. Read that again, bestie: the struct itself stays; the stuff inside its members gets freed and nil’ed. No cap. 💀

⚠️ key caveat: these functions do not free the structures themselves — just the malloc(3) allocated data in their members, and then those members become nil.
