✨ shishi_verbose ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the shishi_verbose(3) page — yeah it's from the shishi manual, and it's literally just an API function, but it's a useful one, trust. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

void shishi_verbose(Shishi * handle, const char * format, ...);

like. look at her. she's a void, she takes a handle, she takes a format string, and then she takes... whatever you want. main character energy fr fr. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — the shishi handle, and it's gotta be one that was allocated by shishi_init(). no random handles, bestie, she needs the real thing. 🫶
  • const char * format — a printf style format string. you know the vibe — the %s, the %d, all that classic ✨ formatting ✨.
  • ... — the printf style arguments themselves. the little guys that get slotted into the format string. 🙈

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea ☕ — this function prints a diagnostic message, composed from the arguments you gave her, and sends it off to the output stream that's set in handle.

BUT. and this is the important part, don't skip it — whether the message actually gets printed depends on the current verbosity setting. if the significance is too low, she just... suppresses it. gone. not printed. vibe check failed, message denied. 💀

so like, she's not out here yelling into the void every single time — she's got taste, she knows when something's worth saying. iconic behaviour honestly.

ngl this is why your output can look quiet sometimes — it's not a bug, it's the verbosity setting doing its thing. check that before you spiral. 😭
