SCTP_FREEPADDRS(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet sctp_freepaddrs, sctp_freeladdrs — release the memory returned from a previous call. That’s the whole assignment, and they ate. 💅

---

📚 LIBRARY 📚

These live in the Standard C Library (libc, -lc), periodt. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Grab these headers first, bestie:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/sctp.h>

void
sctp_freepaddrs(struct sockaddr *);

void
sctp_freeladdrs(struct sockaddr *);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here’s the tea: the sctp_freepaddrs() and sctp_freeladdrs() functions are used to release the memory allocated by previous calls to sctp_getpaddrs() or sctp_getladdrs() respectively. Match them up correctly, iykyk — paddrs with getpaddrs, laddrs with getladdrs. 🎀

---

🌸 RETURN VALUES 🌸

none.

Literally no return value, bestie. It’s giving void energy. 😭

👑 STANDARDS 👑

The sctp_freepaddrs() and sctp_freeladdrs() functions conform to RFC 6458. Iconic behavior, no cap. ✨
