ir_free_table(9)

👑 ir_free_table(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

Okay so bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about everyone's favorite little cleanup queen in the Kernel API Manual 💅 This one's a (9) section page, so ykw it's kernel-API business, and honestly? It's giving "short but essential." 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ir_free_table — the function that frees up the memory that got allocated by a scancode table 🧹✨

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void ir_free_table (struct rc_map *rc_map );

That's it. That's the whole signature. No return value, no drama, no notes. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rc_map — the table whose mappings need to be freed 💖 Like, this is the actual scancode table you're handing over so its key mappings can get released.

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Okay so here's the tea ☕ — this routine frees all the memory that was allocated for the key mappings used by the given scancode table. That's literally the whole job. It shows up, it cleans up, it leaves. Main character energy but make it a deallocator. 🔥

No cap, it's a "you allocate it, I'll free it" situation and honestly we love a function that knows its lane. 💜

Bestie heads-up: this is the cleanup counterpart to the allocation side of things — if you're the one who built the table, you're the one who's gotta call this when you're done. Don't just walk away from it. 😭
