GEARMAN_STRING_T(3)

💖 GEARMAN_STRING_T 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the Gearmand manual — yes, that Gearmand, the one and only 💅 — and today we're talking about gearman_string_t, which is genuinely one of the most chill little types you will ever meet. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

gearman_string_t — Gearmand Documentation, http://gearman.info/ 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole vibe, verbatim, don't come for me:

#include <libgearman/gearman.h>

type gearman_string_t

size_t gearman_size(gearman_string_t)

const char *gearman_c_str(gearman_string_t)

Compile and link with -lgearman 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so. gearman_string_t is a simple type that represents a "string". that's it. that's the whole girl. 🫶

and here's the tea: once you've created a gearman_string_t, it is not mutable. like, it's set, it's done, it's giving immovable object energy. you cannot change it after creation. periodt. 💅

the way that these work is that they only point to the strings that define them — they're not out here copying anything, they're just pointing, main character with a laser pointer energy 🔥

and the best part?? they require no deallocation. none. zero. nothing to free. not me being obsessed with a type that doesn't make me manage memory 😭👑
