Overview

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.
