clean_up(4)              Driver Applies               clean_up(4)

NAME
     clean_up - periodically called in inactive objects

SYNOPSIS
     int clean_up( int inherited );

DESCRIPTION
     The clean_up() function is called by the driver on a regular
     basis  in  all  objects that have been inactive for the time
     specified for clean_up() in the runtime configuration  file.
     One  flag  is  passed to the function, specifying whether or
     not  the  object  has  been  inheritted  by  anything.    If
     clean_up()  returns 0, clean_up() will never be called again
     on that object.  If it returns 1, it will  be  called  again
     when   the   object   remains  inactive  for  the  specified
     clean_up() delay.

     One thing that might be commonly done by an object  in  this
     function is destructing itself to conserve memory.
