💖 TSMgmtDataTypeGet — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the TSMgmtDataTypeGet(3ts) page, a certified Apache Traffic Server banger. it lives in the 3ts manual section and it's lowkey one of the most useful little gremlins in the whole API. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

TSMgmtDataTypeGet — the TSMgmtDataTypeGet API function. yes queen, the name is the name, we love a self-titled icon 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ts/ts.h>

TSReturnCode TSMgmtDataTypeGet(const char *var_name, TSRecordDataType
*result)

that's it. that's the whole vibe. include the header, call the function, get your answer ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, fr fr: this function gets the type of a value for a configuration variable. like, you've got a variable, you wanna know what kind of thing it is — that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 👑

  • var_name is the name of the variable, as a null terminated string. (yes, null terminated, do not play with her on this 🥺)
  • the type value gets stored in result.
  • and heads up bestie: the function can return TS_ERROR if var_name is not found. so like, if you're asking about a variable that doesn't exist? she's gonna tell you. no cap.

💜 TYPES 💜

need the full deets on the type situation? check TSRecordDataType for a detailed description. she's got the whole breakdown over there, iykyk 📖✨

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

  • TS_SUCCESS — if the var_name was found. slay, you did it 💖
  • TS_ERROR — if not. 😭 it's giving "that variable said no thank you"
not me double-checking your return values for you, because i love you and i want you to succeed 🫶
