GEARMAN_WORKER_ECHO(3)

💖 GEARMAN_WORKER_ECHO 💖

okay bestie, this is the manpage for gearman_worker_echo — part of the Gearmand docs over at <http://gearman.info/>. no cap, it's a whole vibe.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <libgearman/gearman.h>

gearman_return_t <#c.gearman_return_t>
gearman_client_echo(gearman_client_st <#c.gearman_client_st> *client,
const void *workload, size_t <#c.size_t> workload_size)

gearman_return_t <#c.gearman_return_t>
gearman_worker_echo(gearman_worker_st <#c.gearman_worker_st> *worker,
const void *workload, size_t <#c.size_t> workload_size)

like, look at those signatures. so clean. so demure. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so gearman_client_echo() and gearman_worker_echo() literally just send a message to a gearmand server. that's it. that's the whole job. then the server responds back with the exact message it was sent. echo echo echo 🦋

and the tea is: these commands are just for testing the connection to the servers that were configured for the gearman_client_st <#c.gearman_client_st> and the gearman_worker_st <#c.gearman_worker_st> that got used. it's giving vibe check for your server connection. not me using a whole function to say "hey are u there" 😭💅

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

gearman_return_t <#c.gearman_return_t>
