idn_free (3)

Name

idn_free - API function

Synopsis

#include <idn.h>

void idn_free(void * ptr);

Description

idn_free(3)                         libidn                         idn_free(3)



NAME
       idn_free - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <idn.h>

       void idn_free(void * ptr);

ARGUMENTS
       void * ptr  memory region to deallocate, or NULL.

DESCRIPTION
       Deallocates memory region by calling free().  If  ptr is NULL no opera-
       tion is performed.

       Normally applications de-allocate strings allocated by libidn by  call-
       ing free() directly.  Under Windows, different parts of the same appli-
       cation may use different heap memory, and then it is important to deal-
       locate memory allocated within the same module that allocated it.  This
       function makes that possible.
