💖 TSFGETS 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're reading from a file together and it's gonna be adorable. this is the TSfgets API function from the Apache Traffic Server manual, section 3ts, and honestly? she's simple, she's reliable, she's the friend who shows up on time. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

TSfgets — the TSfgets API function. that's it, that's the name, no notes. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ts/ts.h>

char *TSfgets(TSFile filep, char *buf, size_t length)

look at her. four little pieces and she's ready to go. 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the vibe: TSfgets reads a line from the file pointed to by filep, and drops it right into the buffer buf. that's the whole job. she's a line-reading girlie and she's excellent at it. ✨

now, the deets, because details are the moment:

  • Lines are terminated by a line feed character, ' '. 🫶
  • The line that gets placed in the buffer includes the line feed character, and then it's terminated with a NULL. so yeah, you get the newline and the null. both. iconic behaviour. 💅
  • If the line is longer than length bytes, then only the first length-minus-1 bytes are placed in buf. so she's not gonna overflow on you, she just clips it. lowkey considerate of her ngl. 🎀
bestie please, length is doing real work here — she's the reason your buffer stays cute and not a crime scene. respect the length. 💀
