tb_property_free_dir(9)

✨ NAME ✨

tb_property_free_dir — release the memory allocated for a property directory 💅🧹

This is tb_property_free_dir(9), straight from the Kernel API Manual — and yes, the function name is the main character here 👑✨.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void tb_property_free_dir (struct tb_property_dir *dir );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dir — directory to release 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so this function releases all the memory that the directory occupies, including all its descendants. The way that it cleans up the whole little family tree is lowkey iconic 🌈✨.

It is OK to pass a NULL dir — in that case the function does nothing. No drama, just a cute little no-op 🙈💅.
