AuFreeDeviceAttributes(3)

💖 AuFreeDeviceAttributes — bestie edition 💖

okay so you're deep in audiolib, the Network Audio System C Language Interface, and you've got a pile of device attributes just... sitting there. in memory. rent free. and you're like "girl, who is paying for this". AuFreeDeviceAttributes is the one who pays. it frees the memory used by lists of device attributes. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

AuFreeDeviceAttributes — free memory used by lists of device attributes 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <audio/audiolib.h>

void AuFreeDeviceAttributes(server, nattributes, attributes)
    AuServer *server;
    int nattributes;
    AuDeviceAttributes *attributes;

it's giving void, it's giving "i take three things and i return nothing because i'm a giver, not a taker". 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• server — the connection to the audio server. your lil phone line to the audio server bestie. 📞
• nattributes — how many device attributes you wanna free. the count. the number. the receipts. 🧾
• attributes — either a single device attribute structure that came back from AuGetDeviceAttributes, or a whole list of device attributes that came back from AuListDevices. whatever you got handed, hand it back here. 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

AuFreeDeviceAttributes frees the memory that was allocated by AuGetDeviceAttributes or AuListDevices.

that's it. that's the whole job. it's the cleanup crew. the friend who stays after the party and helps you take the cups downstairs. iconic behaviour, no cap. 🌈

lowkey important: if you called AuGetDeviceAttributes or AuListDevices, the memory is yours now, and it's your responsibility to hand it over to this function. don't just leave it there. that's a leak, bestie. 💀

and that's the whole page, fr fr. this was audiolib — device attributes, from the Network Audio System C Language Interface, version 1.9.5. go free your memory and slay. periodt. 👑💖
