gCancellableReleaseFd {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gCancellableReleaseFd

### Description

Releases a resources previously allocated by `gCancellableGetFd` or `gCancellableMakePollfd()`.

### Usage

    gCancellableReleaseFd(object)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GCancellable`

### Details

For compatibility reasons with older releases, calling this function is not strictly required, the resources will be automatically freed when the `cancellable` is finalized. However, the `cancellable` will block scarce file descriptors until it is finalized if this function is not called. This can cause the application to run out of file descriptors when many `GCancellables` are used at the same time. Since 2.22
