qtimer_destroy(3)

💅 qtimer_destroy — the libqthread era 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from libqthread, and we're talking about one (1) function that is lowkey the cleanup queen of the whole timer situation. she doesn't start anything, she doesn't stop anything, she just ✨frees✨. and honestly? iconic behaviour.

🌸 NAME 🌸

qtimer_destroy — deallocate a qtimer

like. that's it. that's the whole job. she takes your timer out back and lets it go 🕊️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta invite the header in:

#include <qthread/qtimer.h>

and then, the signature itself, exactly as it is, no notes:

void
qtimer_destroy (qtimer_t timer);

she returns void, meaning she gives you absolutely nothing back, and yet she does everything. the duality. 💀

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so here's the tea: this function deallocates the timer object. that's the whole vibe. she's the opposite of qtimer_create(), she's the breakup text, she's the "we need to talk" 🎀

and there's one rule that is not negotiable, bestie, so listen up:

the timer you hand her must have been allocated with the qtimer_create() function. no random timers, no timers from somewhere else, no vibes-based timers. qtimer_create() or it doesn't count. periodt.

that's the entire contract. she frees what qtimer_create() made. don't come at her with anything else 🙈
