💖 shishi_server(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the shishi manual — this one's shishi_server(3), part of the shishi section 3 pages, and it's genuinely so simple you're gonna be obsessed. it's a lil API function that hands you a library handle. that's it. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

shishi_server — an API function, fr fr. that's literally the whole job description. no notes. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

Shishi * shishi_server();

so you pull in the header, you call the function, you get back a Shishi *. iconic behavior, no cap. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, bestie: shishi_server() initializes the Shishi library. that's the main character move. 💅

and it also primes logging, which is the part people always forget — the way that it sets things up so that any future warnings and informational messages get sent to the syslog system. so like, all your future lil messages go straight to syslog instead of wherever they'd have gone otherwise. very organized of it. 🎀

and ngl, if this function fails, it may print diagnostic errors in the syslog. so it's not silent about it — it's gonna tell syslog what went wrong. 😭

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

  • it returns a Shishi library handle 💖
  • or NULL on error 💀

that's it. that's the contract. if you get NULL, something went sideways and you should go check your syslog. periodt. 👑
