## Function Documentation

### EAPI void eet\_clearcache (void)

*Clear eet cache. Eet didn't free items by default. If you are under memory presure, just call this function to recall all memory that are not yet referenced anymore. The cache take care of modification on disk.*

**Since:**

*1.0.0*

*Referenced by eet\_shutdown().*

### EAPI int eet\_init (void)

*Initialize the EET library.* **Returns:**

*The new init count.*

**Since:**

*1.0.0*

### EAPI int eet\_shutdown (void)

*Shut down the EET library.* **Returns:**

*The new init count.*

**Since:**

*1.0.0*

*References eet\_clearcache().*
