PQnotifies and freeing memory.

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.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
