NAME

       idn_free - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <idn.h>

       void idn_free(void * ptr);

ARGUMENTS

       void * ptr  memory region to deallocate, or NULL.

DESCRIPTION

       Deallocates memory region by calling free().  If  ptr is NULL no operation is performed.

       Normally  applications de-allocate strings allocated by libidn by calling free() directly.
       Under Windows, different parts of the same application may use different heap memory,  and
       then  it is important to deallocate memory allocated within the same module that allocated
       it.  This function makes that possible.
