I know in C# there a Garbage collector, but in c and C++ there are none.
I believe in c++ the function is free([resource name here]);

readahead-collector [options] DESCRIPTION

Stock Debian kernels are built with these options. OPTIONS
-d enable debug mode. -f leave the daemon in the foreground for debugging, output goes to stdout. -h print the usage information. FILES
