void wordfree( wordexp_t * pwordexp );

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Note: This function is in libc.a, but not in libc.so (in order to save space).

Description:

The wordfree() frees the memory allocated by wordexp().

Note: Because of security concerns, the versions of wordexp() and wordfree() in libc.a are stubs that do nothing, and libc.so doesn't include them at all. We recommend that you not use these functions.
