rtcReleaseDevice(3)      Embree Ray Tracing Kernels 4      rtcReleaseDevice(3)

   NAME

              rtcReleaseDevice - decrements the device reference count


   SYNOPSIS

              #include <embree4/rtcore.h>

              void rtcReleaseDevice(RTCDevice device);


   DESCRIPTION
       Device objects are reference counted.  The rtcReleaseDevice function
       decrements the reference count of the passed device object (device
       argument).  When the reference count falls to 0, the device gets
       destroyed.

       All objects created from the device (like scenes, geometries, etc.)
       hold a reference to the device, thus the device will not get destroyed
       unless these objects are destroyed first.

   EXIT STATUS
       On failure an error code is set that can be queried using
       rtcGetDeviceError.
