💖 gnutls_heartbeat_pong 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual — yes, the gnutls manual, the big one — and today's main character is gnutls_heartbeat_pong. it's an API function. she's small, she's simple, she's doing her little job and she's doing it well. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_heartbeat_pong — API function

like. that's the name. that's the whole name. it's giving "i reply to things" energy and honestly? iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_heartbeat_pong(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned int flags);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_session_t session — bestie this is a gnutls_session_t type. that's it. that's the whole description. she's the session you're talking to, the whole vibe, the connection, the moment. 💅
  • unsigned int flags — and this one? should be zero. literally zero. not "kinda zero", not "zero-ish". zero. no cap. 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: this function replies to a ping by sending a pong to the peer. that's it. someone pinged you, you pong back, the conversation stays alive, everyone's happy, nobody's left on read. it's the politest thing you can do on a network, fr fr. 💖

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

  • GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS on success — slay, it worked, we love that for you 👑
  • otherwise a negative error code — so like, if it's negative, something went sideways, and you should go read the error, bestie. don't ignore her. 😭

🌈 SINCE 🌈

3.1.2 — she's been around since 3.1.2, which means she's basically a veteran. respect your elders. 🎀
