transfer full
An introspection annotation saying that the memory pointed to by a function argument now belongs to the called function, meaning that that function is now responsible for freeing it. Similarly, if a function's return value is annotated as "transfer full" then the caller becomes responsibile for freeing the memory pointed to by the returned value.
The opposite is transfer none.Last updated: 2018-08-26
