Method
IdeBufferhold
Description
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 wont 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.
