GENDERS_HANDLE_CREATE(3)

✨ GENDERS_HANDLE_CREATE(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libgenders corner of the man pages 💅 this one is short and sweet, like a lil snack before the real coding.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

genders_handle_create — create a genders handle

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <genders.h>

genders_t genders_handle_create(void);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, genders_handle_create() makes you a genders handle, which is the thing you use with the genders C API. a genders handle is type genders_t, and that type lives in genders.h (iconic header behavior tbh).

and here's the thing — you have to pass that handle to almost every single function in the genders C API. it's your little backstage pass 🎟️ without it you're just standing outside the club, no cap.

---

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

• slay — on success you get a genders handle back (datatype genders_t).
• not slay — on error, NULL gets returned. 😭 check for it, bestie, don't just rawdog that pointer.
