QBHDB.H(3)

✨ QBHDB.H(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libqb Programmer's Manual 💖 this is the page for qbhdb.h, and no cap it's a short one, so grab a boba and let's go 🧋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qbhdb.h — the handle database is for reference counting objects. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "small file, big job" 💅

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <qb/qbhdb.h>

just one include, she's low maintenance 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the thing — this section is literally empty in the original. like, the heading is there, the vibes are there, and then... nothing. it's giving "showed up to the group chat and said nothing" 😭

so the entire lore lives in the NOTE below. scroll down bestie 🫶

---

👑 NOTE 👑

so historically, the handle database implementation also served internal needs of libqb — think IPC services tracking — which eventually got replaced with indirection-less reference counters and their direct modifications. glow up fr fr ✨

so if you're wondering why things look the way they do, that's the backstory. the old setup was doing double duty and then it got traded in for something leaner. iconic behavior honestly 💅
