okay bestie, welcome to the libzip section of the group chat, this one is short but she is important 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

zip_source_free — free zip data source 💅

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libzip (-lzip) 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <zip.h>

void
zip_source_free(zip_source_t *source);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. zip_source_free() does the classic refcount girlie thing: it decrements the reference count of source, and if that count drops allll the way down to 0, she frees it. bye babe 👋✨

and if source is NULL? literally nothing happens. no crash, no drama, she just. does nothing. iconic behaviour honestly 💅

⚠️ NOTE, and this one is fr fr important bestie: you should not call this function on a source after it was used successfully in a zip_open_from_source(3), zip_file_add(3), or zip_file_replace(3) call. like, once those functions have taken your source and succeeded, that source is theirs now. hands off. no cap. 🙈
