💖 qb_ipcs_response_send — sending replies back to your requests, the cute way 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the libqb Programmer's Manual, and today's main character is qb_ipcs_response_send(3). yes it's a function, yes it's in section 3, and yes we're gonna be so normal about it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

qb_ipcs_response_send — Send a response to a incoming request.

like, someone asked you something, and now you're answering. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <qb/qbipcs.h>

ssize_t qb_ipcs_response_send(
    qb_ipcs_connection_t   *c,     /* connection instance */
    const void             *data,  /* the message to send */
    size_t                  size   /* the size of the message */
);

---

🌸 PARAMS 🌸

• c — connection instance 💫 (your connection babe, the one you're talking through)
• data — the message to send 📨 (the actual thing you wanna say)
• size — the size of the message 📏 (how big that thing is)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ngl, the original page leaves this one blank — no description text at all. so we're keeping it exactly that way. the function name says it all, iykyk ✨

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

it returns the size sent, or -errno if something went wrong. so like… a happy number, or a sad little negative error code. no cap. 😭

---

💀 NOTE 💀

bestie, listen carefully, this part MATTERS:

the data must include a qb_ipc_response_header at the top of the message. the client is gonna read the size field to figure out how much to recv.

so like… header first, always. the client is literally reading that field to know what's up. don't skip it, don't bury it, don't be cute with it. 🙈
