QB_LOG_INIT(3)

✨ qb_log_init ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libqb Programmer's Manual, section 3, and today's main character is qb_log_init — the girl who starts the whole logging system. 💅 no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qb_log_init — Init the logging system.

like. she initializes the logging. that's the whole job description. iconic.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <qb/qblog.h>

void qb_log_init(
    const char   *name,      /* will be passed into openlog() */
    int32_t       facility,  /* default for all new targets. */
    uint8_t       priority   /* a basic filter with this priority will be added. */
);

she returns void, so like… no receipts, no notes, she just does it. 🫶

🦋 PARAMS 🦋

• name — will be passed into openlog(). fr fr, that's the whole thing, she just hands it over. 🍓
• facility — default for all new targets. lowkey setting the vibe for every target that shows up later. ✨
• priority — a basic filter with this priority will be added. so she's out here installing a whole filter for you before you even ask. queen behavior. 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

ngl bestie, the original page leaves this section empty. not me checking twice. 💀 the manpage literally says DESCRIPTION and then… nothing. silence. a moment of peace. 🙈

so there's no extra lore here to spill. the synopsis and the params are the whole story. don't @ me. 🎀
