✨ NAME ✨

shishi_error_set_outputtype — it's an API function, bestie 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

void shishi_error_set_outputtype(Shishi * handle, int type);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — your shishi handle, aka the lil guy you got from shishi_init(). You know the one 🫶
  • int type — the output type, and it's of enum type Shishi_outputtype. Very demure, very typed.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so what this does: it sets the output type — that's NULL, stderr or syslog — for all the information and warning messages. Basically it's the vibe check for where your messages go 👑

The intended values are:

  • SHISHI_OUTPUTTYPE_NULL — no output at all, silence, ghost mode 💀
  • SHISHI_OUTPUTTYPE_STDERR — output goes to the console, classic
  • SHISHI_OUTPUTTYPE_SYSLOG — syslog messaging, for the sysadmin girlies

And here's the little plot twist: that first value covers everything different from the latter two values. So like, anything that isn't SHISHI_OUTPUTTYPE_STDERR or SHISHI_OUTPUTTYPE_SYSLOG gets treated as SHISHI_OUTPUTTYPE_NULL. No cap, that's literally what it says. ✨
