TSFREAD(3ts)

✨ TSFREAD ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to TSfread — literally the Apache Traffic Server API function that reads from a file, and she's lowkey iconic for it 💖 this is a 3ts manual page, so grab a snack and let's get into it 🍓

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

TSfread — the TSfread API function, no cap, that's the whole name, she's simple and she knows it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the vibe, copy it exactly bestie:

#include <ts/ts.h>

ssize_t TSfread(TSFile filep, void *buf, size_t length)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what she does is she attempts to read length bytes of data from the file pointed to by filep, and she drops all of it into the buffer buf. that's it. that's the whole job. main character energy fr fr 👑

⚠️ but bestie listen — the behavior is undefined if length is greater than SSIZE_MAX. like, not "oh it'll probably be fine" undefined, actually undefined. don't do it. i'm literally begging 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• she returns the number of bytes read on success 💚
• or -1 on failure 😭

periodt.

---

💜 COPYRIGHT 💜

2026, dev@trafficserver.apache.org — yeah they own this, show some respect to the Apache Traffic Server girlies 🫶

and that's the whole page bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 💅✨ sending you off with the official receipts: this is Apache Traffic Server, version 9.2, dated Feb 12, 2026 — TSFREAD(3ts) and she slayed the whole time 🌈💖🎀
