okay bestie, welcome to MiniLibX(3) from the Library Functions Manual! this page is literally all about managing windows, and it's giving main character energy. let's get into it ✨

💫 NAME 💫

MiniLibX - Managing windows

🌈 SYNOPSYS 🌈

void *
mlx_new_window ( void *mlx_ptr, int size_x, int size_y, char *title );

int
mlx_clear_window ( void *mlx_ptr, void *win_ptr );

int
mlx_destroy_window ( void *mlx_ptr, void *win_ptr );

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so mlx_new_window() is literally the function that pops a new window on your screen. it uses the size_x and size_y parameters to determine its size, and title as the text that should be displayed in the window's title bar. the mlx_ptr parameter is the connection identifier returned by mlx_init() (check the mlx man page for that one). mlx_new_window() returns a void * window identifier that can be used by other MiniLibX calls. and yes bestie, note that MiniLibX can handle an arbitrary number of separate windows—so go off, make all the windows you want 💅

mlx_clear_window() and mlx_destroy_window() respectively clear (in black) and destroy the given window. they both have the same parameters: mlx_ptr is the screen connection identifier, and win_ptr is a window identifier. periodt.

🔥 RETURN VALUES 🔥

if mlx_new_window() fails to create a new window (for whatever reason), it will return NULL. otherwise, a non-null pointer is returned as a window identifier. mlx_clear_window and mlx_destroy_window right now return nothing. no cap.
