fribidi_set_debug(3)

💅 fribidi_set_debug(3) — like, the Programmer's Manual page, bestie

okay so picture this: it's a Programmer's Manual page, the star of the show is fribidi_set_debug(3), and it's literally one tiny function that flips a switch. that's it. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

fribidi_set_debug — set debug state 🐛✨

yes bestie, that's the entire job description. she sets the debug state. iconique.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <../fribidi/lib/fribidi.h>

int fribidi_set_debug(int state);

look at her. one include, one function, zero drama (until you forget the include, then it's all drama 😭). copy that #include line exactly — that's ../fribidi/lib/fribidi.h with the dots and everything, no cap.

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• int state — the new state to set. new state, who dis 💅 that's the one and only thing you hand her.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Set debug state. 🎀

that's it. that's the whole paragraph in the original, and honestly? she said what she said. you pass in state, she sets the debug state. main character energy, minimal words, no notes. lowkey obsessed with how little this function needs to explain itself 🫶

fr fr though — the page does not tell you what the values of state mean, and neither will i, because i'm not about to invent lore that isn't in the source. if you need the actual answer on what debug state is currently doing, go poke fribidi_debug_status(3) down there in SEE ALSO 👀
