💖 shisa(3) — the shishi girlies' API glow-up 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about shisa — she's an API function from the shishi manual (section 3, as in library calls, iykyk), and she's literally the front door to the whole Shisa library. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

shisa — an API function. that's it, that's the name, she's simple and she's iconic 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe check, copy it exactly or it won't compile, fr fr:

#include <shisa.h>

Shisa * shisa();

so you pull in the header shisa.h and then you call shisa() with zero arguments. she takes nothing and gives everything. main character energy. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

shisa() initializes the Shisa library. that's her whole job and she ate. 💅

heads up though bestie: if this function fails, it may print diagnostic errors to standard error. so if you see cryptic little messages scrolling by on stderr, that's not the universe being mean to you, that's shisa() telling you something went sideways. 🙈

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

she hands you back a Shisa library handle — your shiny new key to the whole library, your little backstage pass 🫶

...or she returns NULL on error. 😭 so like, always check. always. check. your. return. value. periodt.

🐛 REPORTING BUGS 🐛
