IXP_RESPOND(3)

💅 NAME 💅

ixp_respond — the little function that sends your reply back, bestie, no cap

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ixp.h>

void ixp_respond(Ixp9Req *req, const char *error);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so picture this: you've got a request, and you gotta send a response to it. That's literally the whole job. ixp_respond sends a response to the given request. Slay.

The way it builds that response? Two vibes, choose your fighter:

• It's constructed from the ofcall member of the req parameter — that's the main character path.
• Or it's constructed from the error parameter if error is non-null. In that case the response is of type RError, periodt. 💀

In any other case (aka when error is null), the response is of the same type as req->ofcall — and heads up, bestie, that type must match the request type in req->ifcall. It's giving "they have to match or it's over." 🙈

Fr fr, don't fumble the type match. req->ofcall has to line up with req->ifcall's request type. That's not a suggestion, it's the rule. 🫶
