NAME

       tickit_string_ref, tickit_string_unref - adjust the refcount of a counted string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tickit.h>

       TickitString *tickit_string_ref(TickitString *s);
       void tickit_string_unref(TickitString *s);

       Link with -ltickit.

DESCRIPTION

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

       tickit_string_unref() decrements the stored refcount of the given counted string  instance
       by one. If the refcount drops to zero, the instance is destroyed.

RETURN VALUE

       tickit_string_ref()  returns  a  counted  string  instance  pointer. tickit_string_unref()
       returns no value.
