LOWDOWN_TERM_FREE(3)

💖 LOWDOWN_TERM_FREE(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for lowdown_term_free — yes it's a Library Functions Manual entry, and yes it lives in library “liblowdown”. it does exactly one thing and it does it flawlessly. we love a focused queen. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

lowdown_term_free — free an Markdown terminal renderer 🎀

---

📚 LIBRARY 📚

library “liblowdown” — that's where she lives, that's her home, that's her whole vibe. 🏠💜

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

like, here's how you summon her:

#include <sys/queue.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <lowdown.h>

void
lowdown_term_free(void *arg);

no cap, that's the whole thing. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically: this function frees the terminal renderer that you made earlier with lowdown_term_new(3). renderer did its job, renderer gets to rest now. retirement arc. 🫶

and like, super important, bestie — if arg is NULL, the function does nothing. it literally just vibes. no crash, no drama, no chaos. it's giving "calm down, it's fine." 😌✨

---

💅 EXAMPLES 💅

here's the moment you've been waiting for — this parses b of length bsz and outputs in ANSI terminal format. iconic behaviour, honestly:

struct lowdown_buf *out;
struct lowdown_doc *doc;
struct lowdown_node *n;
void *rndr;

if (setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8") == NULL)
        err(1, NULL);

if ((doc = lowdown_doc_new(NULL)) == NULL)
        err(1, NULL);
if ((n = lowdown_doc_parse(doc, NULL, b, bsz, NULL)) == NULL)
        err(1, NULL);
if ((out = lowdown_buf_new(256)) == NULL)
        err(1, NULL);
if ((rndr = lowdown_term_new(NULL)) == NULL)
        err(1, NULL);
if (!lowdown_term_rndr(out, rndr, n))
        err(1, NULL);

fwrite(out->data, 1, out->size, stdout);

lowdown_term_free(rndr);
lowdown_buf_free(out);
lowdown_node_free(n);
lowdown_doc_free(doc);

see how she's at the top of the cleanup squad? lowdown_term_free(rndr) first, then lowdown_buf_free(out), then lowdown_node_free(n), then lowdown_doc_free(doc). clean up your room, bestie. 🧹✨ main character energy fr fr.
