TSMIMEHDRPARSE(3ts)

✨ TSMIMEHDRPARSE(3ts) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Traffic Server MIME header zone 💖 this page lives in the 3ts manual, and it's all about one very specific little function. no gatekeeping here, let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

TSMimeHdrParse — the TSMimeHdrParse API function. that's it, that's the name, she's simple and she knows what she is 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ts/ts.h>

TSParseResult TSMimeHdrParse(TSMimeParser parser, TSMBuffer bufp, TSMLoc
offset, const char **start, const char *end)

like yes, that's the whole signature, look at her go ⭐

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically? it parses a MIME header. iconic behaviour, truly no notes ✨

the MIME header must have already been allocated — meaning you cannot just roll up empty-handed, bestie, bufp and hdr_loc both have to point within that header. get your pointers situated first, then we talk 🙈

and here's the fun part: you can parse a MIME header a single byte at a time using repeated calls to TSMimeHdrParse(). one byte. then another. then another. the way that it just nibbles through it byte by byte is genuinely so satisfying 😭

as long as an error does not occur, TSMimeHdrParse() consumes each single byte and asks for more. it's giving hungry. it's giving main character energy. feed her bytes and she will keep going 🍓

no cap: the whole "as long as an error does not occur" clause is doing real work here. if an error does happen, that's the vibe check failing, and the byte-munching stops. keep an eye on it 👑
