socket_udp6 πŸ’–

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 πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

socket_udp6 β€” bestie, this makes you a non-blocking IPv6 UDP/IP datagram socket. that's the whole vibe. no cap. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

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. πŸ‘‘


πŸ’« DESCRIPTION πŸ’«

okay so here's the tea πŸ“: 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. ✨

and if something goes wrong?? 😭 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. πŸ’–

ngl the "without allocating any resources" part is highkey the most underrated flex here. zero loose ends. periodt.

πŸŽ€ EXAMPLE πŸŽ€

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?? 🌈

and that's the whole page fr fr β€” brought to you by the Library Functions Manual, socket_udp6(3), no date given because she's timeless like that πŸ’œ stay non-blocking, stay iconic, and remember: if you get a -1, check your errno before you spiral 🫢✨
