# _CP_str_free

_CP_str_free releases the CPSTR* string
back to the string pool to be allocated at a later time. All CPSTR*s
must eventually be released with _CP_str_free.

## Syntax

```
_CP_str_free(CPSTR* string)
```
Tip: Failure to free CPSTR*s when finished with
them causes memory to be used unnecessarily.
