✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, three functions, three vibes, all of them obsessed with the same list of servers your worker is willing to take work from 🫶

• gearman_worker_add_server() — adds one more gearmand server to the list of servers that the worker will take work from. just one. a single little server joining the group chat ✨
• gearman_worker_remove_servers() — removes ALL servers from the gearman_worker_st <#c.gearman_worker_st>. not some, not a couple, every last one. it's giving "clear the whole roster" 💀
• gearman_worker_add_servers() — takes a list of gearmand servers, and that list gets parsed to provide servers for the worker. the format for this is literally:

SERVER[:PORT][,SERVER[:PORT]]...

Examples of this are:

10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2,10.0.0.3
localhost234,jobserver2.domain.com:7003,10.0.0.3

see? comma-separated, port optional, iconic 🌈

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

gearman_worker_add_server() and gearman_worker_remove_servers() return gearman_return_t <#c.gearman_return_t>.
