QB_IPCS_CREATE(3)

💖 QB_IPCS_CREATE(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libqb Programmer's Manual, page for qb_ipcs_create — and no cap, this one is kind of the main character of the whole IPC server saga ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

qb_ipcs_create — bestie, it literally creates a new IPC server. that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <qb/qbipcs.h>

qb_ipcs_service_t * qb_ipcs_create(
    const char                        *name,        /* for clients to connect to. */
    int32_t                            service_id,  /* an integer to associate with the service */
    enum qb_ipc_type                   type,        /* transport type. */
    struct qb_ipcs_service_handlers   *handlers     /* callbacks. */
);

like. she takes four things and hands you back a whole service. iconic behaviour fr fr 💅

---

🌸 PARAMS 🌸

• name — the name the clients connect to. this is your server's little name tag at the party 🎀
• service_id — an integer to associate with the service. just a number, but it's her number 🦋
• type — the transport type. how the messages actually travel, iykyk ✨
• handlers — the callbacks. all the little functions that get pinged when stuff happens 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

(no extra prose here in the original — she just goes straight into the structures, and honestly? respect. keep reading bestie 👇)

---

👑 STRUCTURES 👑

here's the callback glow-up, bestie — this is the struct you pass in as handlers:

struct qb_ipcs_service_handlers {
    qb_ipcs_connection_accept_fn     connection_accept;
    qb_ipcs_connection_created_fn    connection_created;
    qb_ipcs_msg_process_fn           msg_process;
    qb_ipcs_connection_closed_fn     connection_closed;
    qb_ipcs_connection_destroyed_fn  connection_destroyed;
};

five function pointers, five chances for your code to be the moment 🌈

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

the new service instance. that's it, that's the gift 🎁 she ate and left no crumbs.
