cgi_output(3)

✨ cgi_output ✨

okay bestie, so like — this is cgi_output from the cgi/cgi.h corner of the ClearSilver universe, and it's literally the function that shows your CGI output to the user 💅 it's giving "final reveal" energy, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <cgi/cgi.h>

NEOERR *cgi_output (CGI *cgi, STRING *output);

like, that's the whole vibe right there 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cgi — a pointer to a CGI struct, and it has to be one you allocated with cgi_init 💖 no random structs, we don't do that here.
• output — the data to send to output from the CGI ✨ that's the actual content going out into the world, main character moment fr fr.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, normally this is called by cgi_display, right? it just kinda happens behind the scenes, iconic, no notes. but some people wanted it external so they could call it directly 👑 and honestly? valid. sometimes you wanna be the one holding the aux cord.

that's it. that's the description. short, sweet, ate. 💀

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

None 😌 literally nothing comes back. not a NEOERR, not a vibe, nothing. it's giving "I did my job and left" energy.
