✨ skipRelease(3) ✨

okay bestie, so we're in util/skiplist.h territory today — this is the skipRelease page and it's giving "let that value GO" energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

skipRelease — release lock on value. yeah. that's the whole gig. iconic honestly 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <util/skiplist.h>

void skipRelease(skipList list, void *lock);

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• list — the list that's holding the value you wanna release, bestie. it's right there. containing it. 🫶
• lock — the lock to release. yes queen, hand it over. 🔓

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea ☕ — skipRelease() releases the lock on the value that's associated with <lock>. That's it. That's the whole vibe.

And the moment the lock is released? the freeValue callback can be called and the item gets freed (go peek at skipNewList() for that whole situation, iykyk 👀).

MT-Level: Safe if <list> is thread-safe. no cap — if your list isn't thread-safe, don't come crying to me, protect yourself first 🧚

💀 RETURN VALUE 💀

None. literally nothing. it returns void. it said "not me giving you a return value" 🙈
