✨ VOTEQ...NALIZE(3) ✨

okay bestie, this is a page from the Corosync Cluster Engine Programmer's Manual, and it's literally just about saying bye to votequorum 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

votequorum_finalize — terminate a connection to the votequorum service 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <corosync/votequorum.h>

int votequorum_finalize(votequorum_handle_t handle);

like. that's the whole vibe. one header, one function, one handle. slay ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so votequorum_finalize is the function you call to close a connection to the configuration database API. it's the goodbye girlie. the "we're done here" moment 🫶

and listen, this part matters: once the connection is finalized, the handle may not be used again by applications. not once. not ever. it's giving ex-handle. periodt 💀

also, no more callbacks will be dispatched from the votequorum_dispatch function. she's retired. she's on a beach. don't call her 📵

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

this call returns the CS_OK value if successful, otherwise an error is returned. no cap, that's it.

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

here's the whole roster of things that can go wrong, and bestie, there are nine of them:

• 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

🚨 lowkey important: if you get one of these, your finalize did NOT go off without a hitch. check the value fr fr.
