πŸ’– UMAD_FREE πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenIB Programmer's Manual, section 3, page UMAD_FREE(3) β€” yes you read that right, we're in the big leagues now πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

umad_free β€” it frees memory of umad buffers. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <infiniband/umad.h>

void umad_free(void *umad);

look at her. one include, one function, zero drama πŸ¦‹


🫢 DESCRIPTION 🫢

so like. umad_free() frees memory that was previously allocated with umad_alloc(). that's the entire vibe. you alloc'd it, girl, now you gotta free it. the way that memory management is literally just give and take 😭

no cap, this is the cleanup era. she's not here to make new friends, she's here to say goodbye to the ones you already made πŸ‘‘


πŸ’€ RETURN VALUE πŸ’€

umad_free() returns no value. it's a void. she gives you nothing back and honestly? iconic. not everything has to be transactional, bestie πŸ’œ


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

  • umad_alloc(3) β€” the one who started it all, the allocator herself, the main character of the origin story 🌈
