LIBMAWK_RUN_MAIN(3libmawk)

💖 LIBMAWK_RUN_MAIN 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libmawk manual ✨ this one's all about libmawk_run_main(3libmawk) and honestly? she's the moment. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

libmawk_run_main — run main parts of a script 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <libmawk.h>

void libmawk_run_main(mawk_state_t *m);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does libmawk_run_main() actually do, you ask? she attempts to take and parse the next input record, and then runs every main part of the script that matches it. that's it. that's the whole vibe 💖

and here's the fun part, bestie: if there are multiple full records just chillin' in the input buffer, she keeps going — the whole process repeats itself until either the buffer becomes empty or it contains a partial record. no crumbs left, no loose ends, she's thorough like that 👑

but if there's no full record in the buffer at all? she just returns with nothing done. no drama, no tantrum, she simply ✨leaves✨

important note bestie: the call itself never blocks — but the script may. so like, don't come for the call, okay? it's the script that might make you wait 🙈

oh and pssst — the input buffer can be filled up using the libmawk_append_input() call. that's how you feed her 🍓

Argument m is a libmawk context that was previously returned by libmawk_initialize() or libmawk_initialize_stage3(). gotta have your context, no context no party 💜
