Read about the concepts of refcounting. Either you own a reference and need to
unref or give it away, or you don't and then don't unref or give it away.

=> I am a little bit confusing.
you means that if I have refcount, then I need to unref and give it away?
and if I don't have refcount, then I don't need to unref and give it away?
