# radcli\_request\_free(3)

Release a request.

## NAME

radcli\_request\_free - Release a request.

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <radcli/>

void radcli_request_free(
    radcli_request  *r
);
```

## DESCRIPTION

If r was sent with RADCLI\_REQUEST\_SENDONLY and radcli\_request\_done() never reached a terminal result (the fire-and-forget case: nothing ever drives it via radcli\_ctx\_dispatch() at all), releases r's still-reserved registry slot first  this is what makes fire-and-forget just "perform() then free()", with no separate close step for the caller to remember.

## PARAMETERS

- **r**

  a request from radcli\_request\_new(); NULL is accepted and ignored.
