After reading the below struct and free statement, I am rather confused..
Do I need to free the struct, the char *, or both?
Thanks.
PGnotify* PQnotifies(PGconn *conn);
typedef struct pgNotify {
char *relname; /* name of relation containing data */
int be_pid; /* process id of backend */
} PGnotify;
After processing a PGnotify object returned by PQnotifies, be sure to free it
with free() to avoid a memory leak.
