okay bestie, heads up: Deprecated since version 0.21. 😭 she's giving legacy, she's giving vintage, we still respect her tho 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So gearman_worker_options() hands you back the gearman_worker_options_t for a gearman_worker_st, okay? And then here's the tea: you turn options ON with gearman_worker_add_options(), and you turn options OFF with gearman_worker_remove_options(). That's the whole dynamic. Add, remove, slay, repeat 🎀

The currently supported options are, like, this whole little squad:

• Enable non-block IO for the worker. ✨ (no cap, that's the vibe — non-blocking IO, worker edition)
• type GEARMAN_WORKER_GRAB_UNIQ — only grab jobs that have been assigned unique values. This one is literally perfect for workers who only want to work with background jobs. it's giving specialist energy 👑
• type GEARMAN_WORKER_TIMEOUT_RETURN — tells you whether a return timeout has been set for the worker. yes ma'am, we're checking 🕵️

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Various 🙈 (that's it, that's the answer, she contains multitudes)
