KCGI_WRITER_GET(3)

📦 version 1.0.1, in alpine 3.24

✨ kcgi_writer_get(3) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual (yes bestie, the libkcgi one, we're in the big leagues now 💅) and it's about opening a writer allocation. it's short, it's sweet, it's iconic, let's go 🎀

🌸 LIBRARY 🌸

library “libkcgi” 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <kcgi.h>

struct kcgi_writer *
kcgi_writer_get(struct kreq *req, int type);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so kcgi_writer_get() opens a writer from request req for later use by the kcgi_writer_write(3) family. that's the whole vibe — you get a writer, you hand it to the write functions, everybody slays. 🔥

the type argument is reserved for future use and should be set to zero. like, literally just zero. don't get creative with it, she's not ready yet 🙈

🚨 big one: this may only be used prior to kcgi_writer_disable(3). if you do it after, it will cause a program abort. not a vibe. not a slay. a whole program abort 😭 so get your writer before you disable, periodt.

🌈 RETURN VALUES 🌈

returns a writer, or NULL if allocation fails. that's it, that's the tea ☕💀
