NODEUPDOWN_HANDLE_CREATE(3)

✨ NAME ✨

nodeupdown_handle_create — bestie, it literally creates a nodeupdown handle 💅

Okay so this is from the LIBNODEUPDOWN manual, section 3, and yes we're doing the whole thing, no skips.

---

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

#include <nodeupdown.h>

nodeupdown_t nodeupdown_handle_create(void);

That's it. Zero arguments. She takes nothing and gives you everything. Iconic behaviour honestly.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So nodeupdown_handle_create() makes you a nodeupdown handle — like, the little object you're gonna use with the whole nodeupdown library of functions. It's giving "here's your key, go be great."

A nodeupdown handle is of type nodeupdown_t, and that type lives in nodeupdown.h (you gotta include it, don't forget, that's the whole vibe check).

And here's the thing bestie, listen: the handle must be passed to most of the nodeupdown library functions. Like, most of them need it. So if you're out here calling nodeupdown stuff without your handle, that's not it. You need the handle. Periodt.

---

💖 RETURN VALUES 💖

• Success — you get a nodeupdown handle back (datatype nodeupdown_t). Slay! 🎀
• Error — NULL is returned. Yeah. Not great. Handle it (or don't, it's literally NULL, there's nothing to handle 💀).
