msg(3)

💖 NAME 💖

msg — the little function that just prints a diagnostic for you, bestie 🫶

---

✨ SYNTAX ✨

#include <libowfat/errmsg.h>

void msg(const char *message, ...);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: you're deep in your code, something is going wrong, and you just want to say something about it. enter msg. 👑

If errmsg_iam was called to set the program name, then msg will print that program name first, followed by a colon. like, it's giving "hey, this is who's talking" energy. 💅

Then msg prints all its arguments to stdout, which is file descriptor #1. literally all of them. every single one. periodt. ⭐

lowkey important: msg does not synchronize with any other output method. it's doing its own thing, no cap, no coordination. 🦋

And if you've got unflushed data sitting in buffer_1? yeah, it stays right there. msg is not gonna flush it for you. it just... doesn't. 🙈
