QB_IPCS_REF(3)

💖 QB_IPCS_REF(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the libqb Programmer's Manual ✨ this is page QB_IPCS_REF(3) and it's literally the tiniest little glow-up function you'll ever meet. she's one line of C and she's carrying the whole reference-counting situation on her back 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qb_ipcs_ref — Increase the reference counter on the service object.

no cap, that's the whole job. she increments. she does not elaborate. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <qb/qbipcs.h>

void qb_ipcs_ref(
    qb_ipcs_service_t   *s   /* service instance */
);

see how she returns void? she gives nothing back and honestly? iconic. 🫶

---

🦋 PARAMS 🦋

• s — service instance. that's the one, the only, the service object you're about to hold a little tighter. 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so... the description section is empty. like, fully empty. the manpage authors said "she doesn't need a paragraph, the name says it all" and honestly? respect. 🙈

ngl there is no extra lore here — no hidden defaults, no secret caveats, nothing. the function name + the NAME line is the entire vibe. if you want the real deets on ref counting, go read the friends listed down in SEE ALSO, because this page is not gonna spell it out for you. ✨

pro tip from your girl: if you're calling qb_ipcs_ref, you're probably gonna need qb_ipcs_unref too. they're a matched set. balance your counters, bestie, or you'll leak and that's not the serve you think it is. 💀
