#include <ixp_srvutil.h>

char *ixp_srv_writectl(Ixp9Req *req, char *(*fn)(void *, IxpMsg *));

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This utility function is meant to simplify writing pseudo files — specifically the kind where single-lined commands get written into them. it’s giving “tiny helper for command-ish file writes,” and honestly? iconic. 🎀

To use it, the aux member of req->fid must be nul or an IxpFileId(3). periodt.

Each line of the written data gets its trailing newline stripped, gets nul-terminated, and gets stored in an IxpMsg(3). Then, for each line prepped like that, fn is called with the IxpMsg pointer and the p member of the IxpFileId. slay. 💅
