💖 qb_log_from_external_source_va 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libqb Programmer's Manual ✨ — this is page three of section three, and we're talking about qb_log_from_external_source_va. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

qb_log_from_external_source_va — that's it, that's the name, no notes 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <qb/qblog.h>

and then here's the whole entire signature, verbatim, no cap:

void qb_log_from_external_source_va(
    const char   *function,
    const char   *filename,
    const char   *format,
    uint8_t       priority,
    uint32_t      lineno,
    uint32_t      tags,
    va_list       ap
);

look at those params. seven of them. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so… this section is empty in the original page. like, genuinely empty. not me staring at a blank DESCRIPTION like 😭.

the manpage has the heading, and then it just goes straight to SEE ALSO. that's the whole vibe. nothing else is written here, so there's nothing else for me to tell you — and I'm not about to make stuff up, because that would be lying to my bestie and we don't do that here. 🙈

fr fr: the original DESCRIPTION section contains no text. whatever this function does, the page itself doesn't say. check the header, check the other pages listed below, but don't let anyone (including me) invent details for you. 💀
