s5curl_close

NAME

s5curl_close - frees the s5curl_t struct and its resources from memory

SYNOPSYS

int s5curl_close(s5curl_t *s5c)

DESCRIPTION

s5curl_close() frees the s5curl_t struct and its resources from memory. The argument s5p is the s5curl_t pointer returned by a previous s5curl_open() call.

The behaviour of s5curl_close() is undefined if the parameter is an illegal pointer, or if s5curl_close() has been previous invoked on the pointer.

If a slow5 index has been associated with the s5p structure (using a previous s5curl_idx_load() invocation), s5curl_idx_load() must be invoked before calling s5curl_close().

RETURN VALUE

No return value.

EXAMPLES

#include <slow5curl/s5curl.h>

#define URL "https://example.blow5"

int main () {

    // setup

    s5curl_t *s5c = s5curl_open(URL);
    if (s5c == NULL) {
       fprintf(stderr, "Error fetching slow5 file\n");
       exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // s5curl operations

    s5curl_close(s5c);

    // cleanup
}
