argv_free(9)
π argv_free(9) β from the Kernel API Manual, bestie β¨
Okay so real talk, this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for it. Buckle up, it's a whole two sentences of lore.
πΈ NAME πΈ
argv_free β free an argv
And then the page literally hands you this, and I'm quoting it exactly, @argv - the argument vector to be freed. Yeah, that's a doc artifact that made it all the way into the NAME section, no cap. We keep it. We respect it. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void argv_free (char **argv );
That's it. That's the whole vibe check. Note the little space before the closing paren β do not touch it, that's canon. π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
argvβ okay so the page says, word for word,-- undescribed --. Which is genuinely sending me π. The parameter is, per this manual page, undescribed. The NAME section is out here doing the describing instead. We work with what we have, bestie.
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Frees an argv and the strings it points to.
That's the entire description. Free the vector, free the strings it's pointing at. Both. Together. Main character energy. π₯
ngl, since this page doesn't spell out the mechanics, just take it at face value β it frees an argv and the strings it points to. Nothing more claimed here, no cap. π
