💖 LIBXO(3) — the libxo manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the page for xo_flush and xo_flush_h from the Library Functions Manual — literally the "flush formatted output from libxo handle" girlies. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

xo_flush, xo_flush_h — flush formatted output from libxo handle

📚 LIBRARY 📚

library “libxo”

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <libxo/xo.h>

xo_ssize_t
xo_flush(void);

xo_ssize_t
xo_flush_h(xo_handle_t *handle);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea: libxo buffers data, and it does that for two reasons — performance, and consistency — but ALSO so that some of the fancier advanced features can actually work properly. iconic behavior honestly. 💅

but sometimes you, the caller, are just sitting there like "bestie... I need this data OUT. now." and that's exactly what xo_flush() is for — it flushes any data that's been buffered up inside the library. go off queen. 🔥

and that's the whole page, no cap — this little manual came out of the Debian build on December 4, 2014, so when you see LIBXO(3) floating around, that's the one. bye bestie, go flush something ✨
