QB_LOG_CALLSITE_GET(3)

💖 QB_LOG_CALLSITE_GET 💖

okay bestie, so this is qb_log_callsite_get(3) from the libqb Programmer's Manual — she's a lil function in the libqb family and she is, lowkey, the girl who makes sure every log line knows where it came from. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

qb_log_callsite_get — get or create a callsite at the given position. periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qb/qblog.h>

struct qb_log_callsite * qb_log_callsite_get(
    const char   *function,  /* originating function name */
    const char   *filename,  /* originating filename */
    const char   *format,    /* format string */
    uint8_t       priority,  /* this takes syslog priorities. */
    uint32_t      lineno,    /* file line number */
    uint32_t      tags       /* the tag */
);

she returns a struct qb_log_callsite * and she takes six lil arguments, no cap 💅

🎀 PARAMS 🎀

• function — the originating function name. like, which function are we even in rn?? 👀
• filename — the originating filename. the file where the drama is happening 📁
• format — the format string. the actual words of the log line, bestie ✍️
• priority — this takes syslog priorities. so it's a syslog-priority kinda situation, not just any random number 🔥
• lineno — the file line number. yes she wants the exact line, she's precise like that 📍
• tags — the tag. the lil tag 💜

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole vibe is: you call her, she gives you a callsite at the position you asked for — getting it or creating it, per the name. and then the result can be passed into qb_log_real_(). that's the tea 🍓
