temporary space. You can use this function to release these
resources when you are not going to use Blosc for a long time.

The number of threads can also be set via the ``BLOSC_NTHREADS`` environment
variable (e.g., ``export BLOSC_NTHREADS=1``). Additionally, you may want to set
``NUMEXPR_NUM_THREADS`` as well since numexpr is used under the hood
(e.g., ``export NUMEXPR_NUM_THREADS=1``).

Examples

>>> blosc2.free_resources()
