NNG_STAT_VALUE(3)

✨ NNG_STAT_VALUE ✨

okay so this is the nng_stat_value(3) page from the NNG Reference Manual, bestie 💖 and it's literally about getting a number out of a statistic. tiny page, huge vibes, let's go 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

nng_stat_value — get statistic numeric value 💅

that's it. that's the whole job. she gets the number. icon behavior.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <nng/nng.h>

typedef struct nng_stat nng_stat;

uint64_t nng_stat_value(nng_stat *stat);

like, yes, that's the whole incantation ✨ you include the header, you have the opaque nng_stat struct, and you call it with a pointer and get a uint64_t back. no cap.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So the way that nng_stat_value() works is: you hand it a statistic stat, and it returns a numeric value for it. that's the whole thing, that's the assignment, and she ate 🔥

BUT. real talk. if the statistic is not of numeric type, then it just returns zero. zero. nada. the void. 💀 so if you're getting zeros back and you're like "bestie why", maybe check the type first, because a non-numeric stat is not gonna give you the digits you're looking for.

and if you wanna know what the actual statistic types are, go read nng_stat_type() — she has a description of all of them. iykyk 🧚

👑 RETURN VALUES 👑

she returns the numeric value associated with stat. yes queen, that's the number, that's the tea 🍓

---

🎀 ERRORS 🎀

None.

not a single one. no errors, no surprises, no drama, main character energy honestly 🌈✨
