LL2_UNREF_CONTEXT(3)

💖 LL2_UNREF_CONTEXT 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ll2_unref_context(3) page, straight outta the Programmers Manual 🎀 this is the lil cleanup queen of the lastlog2 world, and yes she's iconic for it.

✨ NAME ✨

ll2_unref_context — Frees lastlog2 context. 🧹

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <lastlog2.h>

*context * ll2_unref_context(ll2_context *context);

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what she does is: she frees the lastlog2 context, the one that got allocated by ll2_new_context. that's it. that's the whole job. she takes the context you made and she lets it go 🦋

here's the vibe in code form, no cap:

const   char *db_path = "/var/lib/lastlog/lastlog2.db";
ll2_context *context = ll2_new_context(db_path);

/* other lastlog2 calls..... */

ll2_unref_context(context);

see how she shows up at the very end, after all the other calls have had their moment? main character energy fr fr 👑
