NAME

xo_finish, xo_finish_h — finish formatting output

LIBRARY

Text, XML, JSON, and HTML Output Emission Library (libxo, -lxo)

SYNOPSIS

#include <libxo/xo.h>

xo_ssize_t
xo_finish(void);

xo_ssize_t
xo_finish_h(xo_handle_t *xop);

DESCRIPTION

When the program is ready to exit or close a handle, a call to xo_finish() is required. This flushes any buffered data, closes open libxo constructs, and completes any pending operations.

Calling this function is vital to the proper operation of libxo, especially for the non-TEXT output styles.
