XOSD_DESTROY(3)

πŸ’– XOSD_DESTROY(3) πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, we're talking about xosd_destroy from the XOSD manual, section 3 πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

xosd_destroy β€” say bye-bye to an XOSD object, like, permanently πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <xosd.h>

int xosd_destroy (xosd *osd);

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so xosd_destroy does exactly what it says on the tin: it destroys an XOSD object and frees up any memory that object was using. no leaks, no leftovers, we love a clean exit πŸ’–

but listen β€” the osd object you're yeeting here must have been created by xosd_create(3xosd) first. you can't just destroy a random pointer and expect it to go well, that's not the vibe 🫢

and ngl, xosd_destroy is not intended to be used on its own. it's a helper function, doing its little job from inside the display_info tool. it's giving supporting character, and honestly? we respect it ✨


🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • osd β€” the object you're destroying. the one getting the goodbye kiss πŸ’€

πŸ’œ RETURN VALUE πŸ’œ

  • on success, 1 comes back to you πŸŽ‰
  • otherwise you get 0, and xosd_error gets set so you actually know why things went sideways 😭

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • char *xosd_error β€” a string pointing to a text string that describes the error, if one occurred. basically the little note explaining what went wrong πŸ“
