LC_CTX_IFX(3)

πŸ’– lc_ctx_ifx β€” the Librecast Programmer's Manual, bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so picture this: you're in the Librecast programmer's manual, section 3, and you just wanna tell your context which network interface it should be living on. that's it. that's the whole page. and honestly? it's giving "small function, big main character energy". πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

lc_ctx_ifx β€” sets the default interface for sockets and channels created with this context. literally just that. no notes. πŸ‘‘

πŸ“š LIBRARY πŸ“š

Librecast library (liblibrecast, link it with -llibrecast). yep, that's the whole vibe β€” one library, one flag, we move. πŸ’…

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <librecast/net.h>

void lc_ctx_ifx(lc_ctx_t *ctx, unsigned int ifx);

and like, don't forget: compile and link with -llibrecast. πŸŽ€

πŸ’« DESCRIPTION πŸ’«

so lc_ctx_ifx sets the default interface to ifx for all the subsequent sockets and channels you create with the context ctx. like, it's the pre-game decision. whatever you make next out of that ctx inherits the vibe you just set. ✨

and the little plot twist that matters: a value of 0 for ifx means all interfaces. not "no interface", not "interface zero", not "oops I forgot to set it" β€” it means every interface. write that down bestie, it's on the test. πŸ“

🫢 RETURN VALUE 🫢

lc_ctx_ifx() returns no value. none. zero. it's a void function, she simply doesn't do returns. the way that it just sets the thing and leaves? iconic. 😌

πŸ’€ ERRORS πŸ’€

None. nothing. not a single error to report. she's unproblematic fr fr. πŸ™ˆ

ngl the whole page is like four sentences long and honestly? we respect a function that knows exactly what it is. no cap. 🌈
