🌸 NAME 🌸

nn_freemsg — free message (compatible API)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <nanomsg/nn.h>

int nn_freemsg(void *msg);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so nn_freemsg() deallocates a message that was previously allocated with nn_allocmsg() or similar functions. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you made a message, now you're releasing it back into the wild. cleanup era 💖

🫶 note note note: this function is provided for API compatibility with legacy libnanomsg. Consider using the relevant modern API instead. like, it's giving "we keep it around for the old heads" energy — not saying you should build your whole personality on it, iykyk.

👑 RETURN VALUES 👑

this function always returns 0. always. no cap. it's the most unproblematic return value you will ever meet 🌈

💀 ERRORS 💀

None. not one. zero. the error section is literally empty, she ate and left no crumbs 💅
