IdeBufferhold

IdeBuffer*
ide_buffer_hold (
  IdeBuffer* self
)

Increases the “hold count” of the IdeBuffer by one.

The hold count is similar to a reference count, as it allows the buffer manager to know when a buffer may be destroyed cleanly.

Doing so ensures that the buffer will not be unloaded or have reference cycles broken.

Release the hold with ide_buffer_release().

When the hold count reaches zero, the buffer will be destroyed.

self.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
