cc ... -lpcp

Like, that's it. No args. No return value. She just does the thing. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen 👑 — if you've previously loaded a local Name Space using pmLoadNameSpace(3) or pmLoadASCIINameSpace(3), then calling pmUnloadNameSpace(3) is gonna do two iconic things:

• free up the memory associated with that Name Space 🌈
• force all subsequent PMNS routine calls to use the distributed PMNS ⭐

like… she literally cleans up after you and reroutes everyone to the distributed one. main character energy fr fr 💅

but wait 😭 — if you call pmUnloadNameSpace(3) before you've called pmLoadNameSpace(3) or pmLoadASCIINameSpace(3), then it will effectively do nothing. no drama, no crash, just vibes. she's unbothered. 🙈
