cgi_error(3)

💖 cgi_error(3) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're looking at cgi_error from the cgi/cgi.h crew (that's the ClearSilver manual, section 3, if you're keeping track) ✨

✨ NAME ✨

cgi_error — display an error string to the user 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <cgi/cgi.h>

void cgi_error (CGI *cgi, const char *fmt, ...)
                ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF(2,3);

like. she takes a CGI *, a format string, and vibes (aka varargs) 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cgi — a pointer to a CGI struct, the main character of this whole operation 👑
• fmt — a printf style format string and arguments, so yes she formats, she's versatile 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: cgi_error will output a 500 error containing the specified error message. that's the whole move, no cap 😭

real talk though — this function is likely to be removed from future versions in favor of a user error mechanism. so enjoy her while she's here, but don't get too attached, fr fr 💀

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

None. she returns nothing. she simply does the thing and leaves ✨
