Hadoop C/C++ API : hdfsListDirectory and freehdfsFileInfo

[Taeho Kang]

Hello all,

I am using Hadoop C/C++ API with API definitions found hdfs.h
In comments for hdfsListDirectory function, there is a line "Get list of
files/directories for a given directory-path. freehdfsFileInfo should be
called to deallocate memory." However, there is no freehdfsFileInfo found
anywhere.

Or can I just free the memory allocated by hdfsListDirectory function?

Thank you in advance,

Taeho

p.s. Here is the function API for hdfsListDirectory

    /**
     * hdfsListDirectory - Get list of files/directories for a given
     * directory-path. freehdfsFileInfo should be called to deallocate
memory.
     * @param fs The configured filesystem handle.
     * @param path The path of the directory.
     * @param numEntries Set to the number of files/directories in path.
     * @return Returns a dynamically-allocated array of hdfsFileInfo
     * objects; NULL on error.
     */
    hdfsFileInfo *hdfsListDirectory(hdfsFS fs, const char* path,
                                    int *numEntries);
