QB_IPCS_RE...RATE_LIMIT(3)

💅 qb_ipcs_request_rate_limit — from the libqb Programmer's Manual 🎀

okay bestie, sit down, we're doing a libqb page today and it's literally one function. short king. but important, so pay attention 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

qb_ipcs_request_rate_limit — Limit the incoming request rate.

like. that's it. that's the whole job. it puts a leash on how fast requests come at you. 🐕

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qb/qbipcs.h>

void qb_ipcs_request_rate_limit(
    qb_ipcs_service_t       *s,   /* service instance */
    enum qb_ipcs_rate_limit  rl   /* the new rate */
);

no return value. it's a void. it just does the thing and leaves. main character behaviour honestly. ✨

---

🦋 PARAMS 🦋

• s — the service instance. the actual service you're messing with. your girl. your project. the one whose vibe you're about to adjust.
• rl — the new rate. it's an enum qb_ipcs_rate_limit, so it has to be one of the iconic little constants listed down below. 💖

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

ngl bestie, the original page is quiet here. it says the name of the section and then moves straight on to the structures — no extra prose, no little story, nothing. so we're not inventing lore that isn't there. 🙈 the whole personality of this page lives in the name, the params and the enum, and we are respecting that.

---

👑 STRUCTURES 👑

this is the menu of rates you can pass in. your rl argument has to be one of these, periodt:

enum qb_ipcs_rate_limit {
      QB_IPCS_RATE_FAST;
      QB_IPCS_RATE_NORMAL;
      QB_IPCS_RATE_SLOW;
      QB_IPCS_RATE_OFF;
      QB_IPCS_RATE_OFF_2;
};

five options, no notes. and yes, they're written with semicolons in the original — we are copying it character for character, no "fixing", no touching, hands off. 💅
