mariadb_dyncol_free(3)

✨ mariadb_dyncol_free ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about mariadb_dyncol_free(3) from the MariaDB Connector/C manual — yes, that's the manual name right there, and the function name is the whole vibe. 💅

🎀 Name 🎀

mariadb_dyncol_free — free the memory inside the packed blob, no cap.

🌸 Synopsis 🌸

#include <mariadb_dyncol.h>

void mariadb_dyncol_free(DYNAMIC_COLUMN *str)

💖 Description 💖

It frees the memory that the specified dynamic column is holding onto. That's it, that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly. 🫶

🦋 Parameter 🦋

• *str — a pointer to a DYNAMIC_COLUMN structure. literally just hand it the pointer and it handles the rest.

👑 Notes 👑

• important bestie, do not skip this one: mariadb_dyncol_free() doesn't free the memory of the passed DYNAMIC_COLUMN structure — it frees all the memory of the stored columns. so it's the contents getting the cleanout, not the struct itself. mind the distinction, it's giving subtle but crucial. 💀
