lsm_string_list_alloc(3)

💖 NAME 💖

lsm_string_list_alloc — bestie, this is the one that allocates the memory for a string list ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lsm_string_list * lsm_string_list_alloc (uint32_t size);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• size — a uint32_t, aka the count of string. Yes, "string" singular, that's how the page says it and I'm not fighting it 💅

---

⭐ VERSION ⭐

1.0 — the vibe check passed, it's version one point oh 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so like, this function allocates the memory for a string list. That's the whole job, and she does it well 🫶

And here's the cute part — every single element gets set to NULL. All of them. Not some, not most. All. It's giving fresh-start energy, no cap 💖

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• It hands you back a pointer of lsm_string ✨
• It gives you NULL if the memory allocation fails — or if size is 0 💀 (yeah, zero gets you nothing, literally)
• Whatever you get back, you should free it with lsm_string_list_free. That's not optional bestie, that's a moral obligation 🙈

fr fr, if you skip the lsm_string_list_free step, that memory is just out there living its main character life with no way home. Don't do that to her 😭

okay that's the whole page, thanks for coming to my TED talk 💜 This was pulled from the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual, dated February 2026, and the page itself is lsm_string_list_alloc — which, fun fact, is also the name of the function, the name of the page, and honestly at this point it's the name of the whole moment 🌟 Mwah, go free your lists 💅🎀
