**void econf\_freeExtValue(econf\_ext\_value \*val);**

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

The **econf\_freeExtValue**() function is used to free the memory that was dynamically allocated for the **econf\_ext\_value** structure pointed to by *val*, typically obtained from a previous call to [**econf\_getExtValue**(3)](/man/os/libeconf/econf_getExtValue.3).

All internal members of the structure, including the value string and any associated extended data, are also freed.

If *val* is **NULL**, the function does nothing.
