socket_tcp6(3)

✨ NAME ✨

socket_tcp6 — bestie, it makes you a non-blocking IPv6 TCP/IP stream socket 💖

like, this is page socket_tcp6(3) from the Library Functions Manual, in case the vibe check needed receipts 🫶

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int socket_tcp6();

that's it. that's the whole incantation. no args, no drama, just vibes ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so socket_tcp6 creates a non-blocking IPv6 TCP/IP stream socket and hands you back a file descriptor pointing at that socket. literally just yeets a socket into existence and gives you the lil handle for it 🔥

and if something goes wrong? it returns -1, sets errno appropriately, and does not allocate any resources — so no cleanup needed, no leaked mess, she's tidy 💅 no cap.

ngl, the "returns -1 and doesn't allocate anything" part is the moment. a failed call leaves zero crumbs. iconic behaviour fr fr 👑

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int s;
char ip[16];
uint16 p;

s = socket_tcp6();
socket_bind6(s,ip,p);
socket_connect6(s,ip,p,0);

see how she grabs the socket, binds it, then connects? main character pipeline 🦋 keep it exactly like this, don't freestyle the types, iykyk.
