LC_SOCKETPAIR(3)

✨ LC_SOCKETPAIR ✨

okay bestie, so this is the lc_socketpair page from the Librecast Programmer's Manual and it's literally about making two sockets that are already obsessed with each other 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lc_socketpair — create a pair of connected Librecast sockets

---

📚 LIBRARY 📚

Librecast library (liblibrecast, -llibrecast)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <librecast/net.h>

int lc_socketpair(lc_ctx_t *ctx, lc_socket_t *sock[2]);

Compile and link with -llibrecast. no cap, that's the whole thing 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, lc_socketpair() creates a pair of connected Librecast sockets. two of them. a duo. a little matched set. iconic behavior honestly 👑

When you're done with them, call lc_socket_close(3). please. do it. don't leave them hanging 😭

Sockets can also be freed by a call to lc_ctx_free(3) on the Librecast context — and that one is a full send because it frees the context and all associated sockets and channels. everything goes. clean slate. slay 💅

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• On success, zero is returned. 🎉
• On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

lc_socketpair() can fail with the following errors:

• ENOMEM — Out of memory. Possibly, the application hit the RLIMIT_AS or RLIMIT_DATA limit described in getrlimit(2). bestie the memory said no 🙈

lc_socketpair() can also fail with any of the errors described in socketpair(2). so like, go read that one too, iykyk.
