optionFree(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

optionFree — free allocated option processing memory. This is the optionFree(3) page from the Programmer's Manual, bestie, and it's all about cleaning up after AutoOpts. 🧚

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <your-opts.h>
cc [...] -o outfile infile.c -lopts [...]

void optionFree(tOptions * pOpts);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so AutoOpts sometimes allocates memory and puts pointers to it in the option state structures. optionFree() deallocates all such memory. it's the cleanup routine, periodt. 🫧

• pOpts — program options descriptor.

🫶 ERRORS 🫶

As long as memory has not been corrupted, this routine is always successful. no cap — if memory is fine, it's a slay, no error vibes. 💀
