cgi_debug_init(3)

✨ cgi_debug_init ✨

okay so bestie, we're in cgi/cgi.h territory and this one is short but it's a little lifesaver, fr fr 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

cgi_debug_init — initialize standalone debugging, no cap 🐛✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <cgi/cgi.h>

void cgi_debug_init (int argc, char **argv);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• argc/argv — literally just the arguments from main, bestie. you know the ones 👑 (hand 'em straight over, they've got a job to do)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so cgi_debug_init sets up a CGI program for standalone debugging 🛠️✨

here's the vibe: you run a ClearSilver CGI program and you hand it a filename on the command line as the first argument. what happens then?? the CGI program will load that file — and the file's gotta be in the form K=V — as a whole set of HTTP/CGI environment variables 🌈

and the reason we're doing all this?? so you can run the program under a debugger in a reproducible environment 💅 like, same env every single time, no chaos, no surprises. it's giving controlled lab conditions, and honestly? obsessed.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

None. that's it, that's the whole answer. it returns nothing, it just does the thing 🫶
