✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

These functions let you manage devices. That's the vibe. That's the whole assignment. 🌸

• The nutclient_get_devices() function retrieves the list of devices monitored by a client. 📋

the returned strarr must be freed by strarr_free (peep libnutclient_general(3)) — no cap, if you don't free it that memory is just gone, bestie. 😭

• The nutclient_has_device() function tests if a device is monitored by a client. Like a lil vibe check for devices. ✅
• The nutclient_get_device_description() function retrieves the device description. 📝

the returned description string must be freed by free(3). yes, this one uses plain free, not strarr_free. they're different, don't @ me, that's just the lore. 💀
