cgiwrap_init_emu(3)

💖 cgiwrap_init_emu(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of cgiwrap_init_emu(3) — a function from cgi/cgiwrap.h, sitting pretty in section 3 of the manual. she's the one you call when you're not running in a real live CGI environment and you wanna fake it till you make it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cgiwrap_init_emu — initialize cgiwrap for emulated use 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <cgi/cgiwrap.h>

void cgiwrap_init_emu (void *data, READ_FUNC read_cb,
    WRITEF_FUNC writef_cb, WRITE_FUNC write_cb, GETENV_FUNC getenv_cb,
    PUTENV_FUNC putenv_cb, ITERENV_FUNC iterenv_cb);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• data — your user data, hand-delivered straight to all the callbacks you're about to pass in. she's the lil bag of goodies that travels with every call 🎒
• read_cb — a cb that steps in for fread(stdin)
• writef_cb — a cb that steps in for fprintf(stdout) (and yes, the original really spells it repalce — typo is canon, we do not touch it, no cap 😭)
• write_cb — a cb that replaces fwrite(stdout)
• getenv_cb — a cb that replaces getenv
• putenv_cb — a cb that replaces putenv
• iterenv_cb — a cb that replaces the default environment iteration function (which, for the record, just wraps walking the envp array) 🚶♀️

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, bestie: cgiwrap_init_emu sets up the whole cgiwrap subsystem for use in an emulated environment — that's the kind of setup where you are the one supplying the routines that stand in for the standard ones. it's giving "when used to interface with a server or a scripting language" energy 💅

if you wanna see the exact definitions of those callback functions, go look at cgi/cgiwrap.h — she has the receipts 🔥

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

None. absolutely nothing. returns void, gives nothing back, keeps zero secrets 🫶
