IXP_RUBYINIT(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the IXP_RUBYINIT(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and the whole main-character function here is ixp_rubyinit. that's it, that's the name, no cap 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ixp.h>

ixp_rubyinit

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, ixp_rubyinit initializes libixp for use in multithreaded programs embedded in the ruby interpreter. slay 💅

tiny but important vibe check: when you're using a pthread edition of ruby, ixp_pthread_init should be used instead. iykyk 🌸

when you're using libixp in such programs, this function must be called before any other libixp functions. like, before. no skipping the line 👑

also, ixp_rubyinit is part of libixp_rubythread, which is part of the libixp distribution, but it is not built by default unless it's enabled in config.mk. so yeah, that's the build tea 🫶

that's the tea from the libixp Manual, dated 2012 Dec. mwah 💋
