KNET_HANDLE_NEW(3)

💖 KNET_HANDLE_NEW(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kronosnet Programmer's Manual — this is the page for knet_handle_new, and ngl she is a short one. like, blink-and-you-miss-it short. but we're still gonna read her with respect because every manpage is somebody's main character. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

knet_handle_new — it's giving "knet_handle_new_ex but with flags = KNET_HANDLE_FLAG_PRIVILEGED". that's the whole vibe, that's the whole function. periodt. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <libknet.h>

knet_handle_t knet_handle_new(
    knet_node_id_t  host_id,
    int             log_fd,
    uint8_t         default_log_level
);

look at those args. three of them. host_id, log_fd, default_log_level. copy them exactly when you write your code, don't be out here freestyling types, i'm begging. 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, real talk: the DESCRIPTION section on this page is literally just

• knet_handle_new

that's it. that's the entire description. no paragraphs, no lore, no side quests. the page said "you know what, the NAME section already spilled the tea" and closed the book. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

so if you want the actual details of what this thing does, go read the NAME line again (it's the KNET_HANDLE_FLAG_PRIVILEGED one, remember?) and then go hang out with knet_handle_new_ex(3), who is right there in SEE ALSO being the more talkative sibling. no cap. 💖
