LIBXO(3)

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

okay so this is from the Library Functions Manual (that's the manual name, hi 👋) and it's literally about two lil functions that stamp a content-version into your encoded output. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

xo_set_version, xo_set_version_h — record content-version information in encoded output 💅

---

📚 LIBRARY 📚

library “libxo” 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libxo/xo.h>

void
xo_set_version(const char *version);

void
xo_set_version_h(xo_handle_t *xop, const char *version);

like, that's it. two functions, both void, both taking a const char *version. no cap. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so xo_set_version records a version number that gets emitted as part of the data for the encoding styles — and the encoding styles in question are XML and JSON 💖 (yes, those two specifically, the manpage said so).

this version number is exactly the vibe for tracking changes in the content. it's giving "data model version tag" energy 👑 — it lets a user of the data figure out which version of the data model is actually in use. iykyk.

and xo_set_version_h? it's the handle-ful twin: you pass it an xo_handle_t *xop alongside the version string. that's the shape of it, bestie 💅
