kpp_request_free(9)

💅 kpp_request_free(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶

okay so picture this: it's a kpp_request and it's had a whole life. it did its little key-agreement thing, it held secrets, and now… it's done. this function is the send-off. it zeroizes the request (wipes the memory clean, no leftover secret crumbs 👀) and then frees it. icon behavior, honestly. self-care for kernel memory ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

kpp_request_free — zeroize and free kpp request 🌸

like literally zeroize it first. the wiping is not optional, it's the whole vibe check 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void kpp_request_free (struct kpp_request *req );

that's it. that's the whole call. no return value, it's giving void and unbothered 👑

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• req — request to free 🎀 the struct kpp_request * you're putting out to pasture. it gets zeroized, then freed. periodt.

bestie reminder: zeroize then free. don't be out here leaking secrets into freed memory, that's not the move 😭💀
