.size_t> data_size)

gearman_return_t <#c.gearman_return_t>
gearman_job_send_warning(gearman_job_st *job, const void *warning,
size_t <#c.size_t> warning_size)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

gearman_job_st are literally handed straight to worker functions, and they represent the jobs that are being run by gearman_worker_work() <#c.gearman_worker_work>. it's giving "here's your assignment, go off" ✨

gearman_job_free() is how you free a job. and bestie, you only need to do this if a task was created with a preallocated structure — otherwise it's not your problem, okay? 🙈

gearman_job_handle() returns the job handle (peep gearman_job_handle_t <#c.gearman_job_handle_t> if you want more on that) 🎀

gearman_job_function_name() returns the name of the function that the job was set to execute against.

gearman_job_unique() returns the unique value that was used for gearman_job_st.

gearman_job_take_workload returns the gearman_job_st workload. the size of it can be figured out with gearman_job_workload_size(). and gearman_job_take_workload() is the same as gearman_job_workload() — except that the result must be free(3) by the caller. so like, it's yours now, you own it, you tidy it up 💅

gearman_job_use_client returns a gearman_client_st <#c.gearman_client_st> that's configured from gearman_job_st. that gearman_client_st can be used to communicate client API commands to the server. okay and this is the important bit, so listen up: you do not, and should not, call gearman_client_free() <#c.gearman_client_free> on the gearman_client_st. it gets cleaned up when the job is cleaned up. periodt 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

a value of gearman_return_t <#c.gearman_return_t> is returned. on success, that value will be :c:type::GEARMAN_SUCCESS. and if you're like "what does this even mean", use gearman_strerror() <#c.gearman_strerror> to translate the value into a printable string 🌈
