QUORU...NALIZE(3)

✨ quorum_finalize — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the corosync cluster engine programmer's manual, section 3, and today's main character is quorum_finalize. yes the header up there says QUORU...NALIZE(3) because apparently even man pages get the ✂️ treatment, but it's the same girl. anyway. sit down, hydrate, let's log off gracefully 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

quorum_finalize — Terminate a connection to the quorum service

like. it's the goodbye function. the "we're done here" function. the "close the door gently on your way out" function 🚪✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <corosync/quorum.h>

int quorum_finalize(quorum_handle_t handle);

one include, one function, one handle. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the quorum_finalize function is used to close a connection to the quorum API. that's the whole job. that's her purpose. she closes the connection. iconic honestly.

⚠️ okay but listen, this part is important bestie: once the connection is finalized, the handle may not be used again by applications. not once. not ever. not even a little bit. that handle is retired. she's living her best life in the void now and you do NOT get to text her back 🙈

and also — and this is the part people forget — no more callbacks will be dispatched from the quorum_dispatch function. like, zero. none. the dispatch party is over, the lights are on, everyone go home 🌙

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

this call returns the CS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned.

translation: CS_OK = slay, you did it. anything else = read the next section, bestie, and find your problem 😭

---

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

here's the full roster, no skips, no cuts, all of them are real and all of them matter:

• CS_ERR_TRY_AGAIN — Resource temporarily unavailable
• CS_ERR_INVALID_PARAM — Invalid argument
• CS_ERR_ACCESS — Permission denied
• CS_ERR_LIBRARY — The connection failed
• CS_ERR_INTERRUPT — System call interrupted by a signal
• CS_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED — The requested protocol/functionality not supported
• CS_ERR_MESSAGE_ERROR — Incorrect auth message received
• CS_ERR_NO_MEMORY — Not enough memory to complete the requested task

that's eight. count them. all eight made it to the function, nobody got left behind 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌟 this came to you from the corosync Man Page, dated 2026-09-04, and it's filed under section 3 of the manual — so when you cite it in your code review just say quorum_finalize(3) and look mysterious 💅✨ go close that connection responsibly, drink some water, and remember: finalize your handles before you leave the function, not after 🎀🦋
