NNG_STAT_FIND_SOCKET(3)

💖 NNG_STAT_FIND_SOCKET(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NNG Reference Manual — yes it's a real manual page, yes it's about finding your socket's stats, and yes we're gonna make it cute. this one's nng_stat_find_socket, and it's literally just "where my socket stats at" the function. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nng_stat_find_socket — find socket statistics 🔍💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <nng/nng.h>

typedef struct nng_stat nng_stat;
typedef struct nng_socket nng_socket;

nng_stat *nng_stat_find_socket(nng_stat *stat, nng_socket socket);

like, copy that exactly, no cap — those typedefs are doing heavy lifting so you don't have to write struct everywhere like some kind of Victorian. 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way that nng_stat_find_socket() works is: it hands you back the statistics tree inside stat that's associated with the socket socket — if such a tree exists. and if it doesn't exist? boom, NULL. no tree, no vibes, no nothing. 💀

and generally — okay this is the fun part — there will be child statistics hanging off the value it returns, each one corresponding to a specific metric. so it's giving tree energy, main character forest. 🌲✨

you can scan those children further either with nng_stat_find(3) or by just walking the tree with nng_stat_child(3). pick your fighter, both slay. 🎀

---

💜 RETURN VALUES 💜

• the matching statistic, bestie 🫶 — the one you asked for
• or NULL if no match is found 😭 (it happens, it's not personal)

---

🌈 ERRORS 🌈

None. zero. not a single one. iconic behaviour honestly, we love a function with no drama. ✨
