TSMIMEHDRFIELDGET(3ts)

💖 TSMIMEHDRFIELDGET — bestie edition 💖

okay so you're here for TSMimeHdrFieldGet, the API function. that's the whole name. that's the vibe. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ts/ts.h>

TSMLoc TSMimeHdrFieldGet(TSMBuffer bufp, TSMLoc hdr, int idx)

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so basically, this function goes and grabs you the location of one specific MIME field, and that field lives inside the MIME header sitting at hdr, which itself lives inside bufp. like, it's a whole nesting situation and honestly it's giving russian dolls a little bit 🪆

the idx parameter is how you tell it which field you want. and here's the thing — the fields are numbered from 0 to TSMimeHdrFieldsCount(bufp, hdr_loc) - 1. so if idx does not lie within that range, TSMimeHdrFieldGet just hands you back 0. no drama, no error, just a zero. 💀

⚠️ okay important one, don't skip this: you gotta release the handle you get back by calling TSHandleMLocRelease. that's the rule. hold onto it and ghost it and you're gonna have a bad time 😭
