GEARMAN_TASK_ATTR_INIT_EPOCH(3)

✨ NAME ✨

gearman_task_attr_init_epoch — the Gearmand Documentation page, bestie, live at http://gearman.info/ 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Okay so first, include this, no skipping:

#include <libgearman/gearman.h>

Then the types and the functions, look:

type gearman_work_t

type gearman_job_priority_t

gearman_work_t gearman_work(gearman_job_priority_t priority)

gearman_work_t gearman_work_epoch(time_t <#c.time_t> epoch,
gearman_job_priority_t priority)

gearman_work_t gearman_work_background(gearman_job_priority_t priority)

And when you build it, you Compile and link with -lgearman. Do not forget that part, that's the whole vibe, it literally will not link without it. 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So gearman_work_t describes work for gearman_execute() <#c.gearman_execute>. That's the assignment, that's the plot of the whole page.

gearman_work() creates a gearman_work_t with a priority. Just a plain little work thing with a priority. Cutie.

gearman_work_epoch() creates a gearman_work_t which tells gearman_execute() <#c.gearman_execute> to execute the workload at the time specified by epoch. So like... schedule it, bestie, that's the tea. ⏰

gearman_work_background() creates a gearman_work_t which tells gearman_execute() <#c.gearman_execute> to execute the workload as a background job. She goes off and does her own thing in the background. Main character energy fr. 👑
