qdqueue_dequeue(3)

💖 qdqueue_dequeue — bestie's guide to yoinking stuff out of a distributed queue 💖

okay so this is a page from the libqthread manual, section 3, and it's about qdqueue_dequeue(3). yes the name is a whole mouthful, we love her anyway 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

qdqueue_dequeue — remove an element from a distributed queue 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qthread/qdqueue.h>

void *
qdqueue_dequeue (qdqueue_t *q);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so picture this: you've got a distributed queue, right? and there's stuff in it. and you want one of those things OUT. that's literally it. that's the whole function.

qdqueue_dequeue removes an element from the distributed queue and hands you back a pointer to it. one element, gone from the queue, pointer in your hand. iconic behavior honestly ✨

no cap, that's all she does. she's a simple queen. 👑

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

what you get back is one of the pointers that was enqueued in the queue. like, whichever one it decides to give you — it's one of the ones you (or somebody) put in there. fr fr. 💖
