tickit_string_ref, tickit_string_unref - adjust the refcount of a counted string
#include <tickit.h> TickitString *tickit_string_ref(TickitString *s); void tickit_string_unref(TickitString *s);
Link with -ltickit.
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.
tickit_string_ref() returns a counted string instance pointer. tickit_string_unref() returns no value.
