Deallocates a virtual memory block.
#include <vmemory.h>
void __far _vfree( _vmhnd_t handle );
| handle | Handle to previously allocated virtual memory block |
The _vfree function deallocates a virtual memory block. The argument handle points to a virtual memory block previously allocated through a call to _vmalloc or _vrealloc. The number of bytes freed is the number of bytes specified when the block was allocated (or reallocated, in the case of _vrealloc). The block must be unlocked before it is freed; use _vlockcnt to ensure that the block is unlocked. After the call, the freed block is available for reuse by the virtual heap.
