socket_tcp6b(3)

socket_tcp6b(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual — yes that's the whole manual, and yes you're about to be so good at IPv6 sockets. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

---

✨ NAME ✨

socket_tcp6b — makes you a blocking IPv6 TCP/IP stream socket, no cap 👑

---

✨ SYNTAX ✨

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

int socket_tcp6b();

like it literally takes zero arguments. she's low maintenance fr fr 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so socket_tcp6b creates a blocking IPv6 TCP/IP stream socket and hands you back a file descriptor pointing right at it. that's it, that's the whole job, and she ate 🎀

but listen — if something goes wrong, socket_tcp6b returns -1 and sets errno appropriately. and the cute part? it does that without allocating any resources. no leaked fds, no mess, just a clean little L. we love an honest failure 😭✨

---

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

here's the vibe, copy-paste energy only:

#include <libowfat/socket.h>

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

s = socket_tcp6b();
socket_bind6(s,ip,p);
socket_connect6(s,ip,p,0);

bind first, connect after — the order is giving main character energy and honestly? correct 🦋

---

• socket_bind4(3)
• socket_bind6(3)

go read those too, iykyk 📚

real talk bestie: -1 means check your errno, don't just stare at it 💀

okay that's the whole page, you're literally an IPv6 girlie now 🌈

signing off from the Library Functions Manual — this was socket_tcp6b(3), mwah, take care of her 🫶🌸
