okay bestie, so this page lives in the Library Functions Manual, and it's literally all about socket_udp6 β she's a lil function from libowfat and she's about to make your networking dreams come true π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
socket_udp6 β bestie, this makes you a non-blocking IPv6 UDP/IP datagram socket. that's the whole vibe. no cap. π
πΈ SYNTAX πΈ
like, this is how you summon her:
#include <libowfat/socket.h>
int socket_udp6();
yes she takes zero arguments. she's low maintenance like that. π
π« DESCRIPTION π«
okay so here's the tea π: socket_udp6 creates a non-blocking UDP/IP datagram socket and hands you back a file descriptor pointing at that socket. that fd is your new bestie, treat her well. β¨
and if something goes wrong?? π she does not leave a mess β she returns -1, sets errno appropriately, and allocates no resources at all. she cleans up after herself. we love a responsible icon. π
ngl the "without allocating any resources" part is highkey the most underrated flex here. zero loose ends. periodt.
π EXAMPLE π
here's her in her natural habitat, slaying:
#include <libowfat/socket.h>
int s;
char ip[16];
uint16 p;
s = socket_udp6();
socket_bind6(s,ip,p);
socket_connect6(s,ip,p);
like?? the way she just works?? π
