QB_RB_CHUNK_COMMIT(3)

💖 qb_rb_chunk_commit — bestie's guide to finalizing the chunk 💖

okay so real talk, this one lives in the libqb Programmer's Manual (section 3, the library girlies) and it is literally called qb_rb_chunk_commit. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

qb_rb_chunk_commit — Finalize the chunk. 💅

like that's the whole vibe. you wrote a chunk, now you're sealing it. periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <qb/qbrb.h>

int32_t qb_rb_chunk_commit(
    qb_ringbuffer_t   *rb,   /* ringbuffer instance */
    size_t             len   /* (in) the size of the chunk. */
);

she takes a ringbuffer and a length and hands you back an int32_t. iconic behavior honestly 🌸

---

✨ PARAMS ✨

• rb — the ringbuffer instance 🌀 your whole situation lives here.
• len — (in) the size of the chunk. yes bestie, the size. the length. the amount. you tell her how big it is and she believes you 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

sooooo… the original page has this heading and then absolutely nothing under it. not a single word. it's giving mystery. it's giving silent treatment. it's giving "the documentation is on vacation" 😭

i'm not gonna make stuff up for you — that would be a fake friend move — so i'm just gonna be honest: the manual gives no further description here. that's the whole tea. the NAME line says "Finalize the chunk" and that's what you get. slay i guess 👑

💀 reminder: nothing here was invented, nothing was skipped. the DESCRIPTION section really is empty in the source. don't come for me, come for the manpage.
