tickit_term_ref3

Usage

#include <tickit.h>

TickitTerm *tickit_term_ref(TickitTerm *tt);
void tickit_term_unref(TickitTerm *tt);

Overview

tickit_term_ref() increments the stored refcount of the given terminal instance by one. It returns the pointer argument itself, so it is useful for chaining.

tickit_term_unref() decrements the stored refcount of the given terminal instance by one. If the refcount drops to zero, the instance is destroyed. This will release any resources controlled by it and unbind all the bound event handlers, causing handlers to be invoked with the TICKIT_EV_DESTROY flag if appropriate. It will not close any filehandles associated with the instance.

Return value

tickit_term_ref() returns a terminal instance pointer. tickit_term_unref() returns no value.
