ios(3)

πŸ“¦ version 4.4.0, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– ios(3) β€” from the Library Functions Manual, bestie πŸ’–

okay so real talk, this one's a tiny page but it's still iconic. we're in ios(3) territory β€” that's the third section of the manual, the library functions one, and this page is literally about a header file. yes. a header. she's got main character energy for a file that just defines a thing. let's get into it 🌸


✨ NAME ✨

ios β€”

okay so here's the thing. the description? empty. there is genuinely nothing after that dash. the manpage authors left it blank, and honestly? mysterious. enigmatic. we respect the silence 🫢 i'm not gonna make something up for you because that would be lying and we don't do that here. the name is ios and that's the whole vibe. periodt.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

πŸŽ€ Defines

  • #define _GLIBCXX_IOS β€” that's it. that's the define. she exists so you know you've already grabbed this header and you don't double-grab her. iykyk πŸ’…

🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

okay so the actual tea: this is a Standard C++ Library header. that's the whole description, fr fr. it's a header β€” part of the C++ standard library that ships with this implementation β€” and that's all she wrote πŸ¦‹

and then, for the receipts:

  • Definition in file ios β€” like, the definition of the thing being documented lives in the file called ios. located. documented. slay.
ngl bestie, this page is more of a "hi, i exist" than a full story. and that's lowkey fine?? not every manpage needs to be a trilogy πŸ’€

πŸ‘‘ Author πŸ‘‘

so nobody actually wrote this, okay, don't come for her:

  • "Generated automatically by Doxygen for libstdc++ from the source code."

that's right β€” Doxygen autogenerated the whole thing straight from the source code for libstdc++. no human author to credit, just the machine doing its thing ✨


that's the entire page, bestie, we got every last crumb of it β€” nothing skipped, nothing invented πŸ“

this cute little rewrite was brought to you by the fine folks at libstdc++, dated 21 Apr 2009 β€” yeah she's an old queen but she still runs πŸ‘‘βœ¨
