💅 DtDtsBufferToAttributeList(3) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the library call page for DtDtsBufferToAttributeList — it’s giving “I type your byte stream and hand you back attributes” energy, no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

DtDtsBufferToAttributeList — get a list of data attributes for a byte stream, periodt. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include &<Dt/Dts.h>
DtDtsAttribute **DtDtsBufferToAttributeList(
const void *buffer,
const int size,
const char *opt_name);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The DtDtsBufferToAttributeList function returns a list of data attributes for a given byte stream. Literally that’s the whole vibe. 🫶

• buffer — this is your pointer to the buffer of the data to be typed. the data to be typed, yep.
• size — the size of the buffer, in bytes. 📏
• opt_name — this one can specify a name to be associated with the buffer. If opt_name is not NULL, it is used as a pseudo file name in typing; otherwise, certain attributes may be returned as NULL because the filename components could not be determined. iykyk 🎀

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

Upon successful completion, the DtDtsBufferToAttributeList function returns a NULL-terminated array of pointers of *DtDtsAttribute. If no value could be determined, it returns NULL. iconic behavior, honestly 🌈

🫶 APPLICATION USAGE 🫶

The application should use the DtDtsFreeAttributeList(3) function to release the memory for the returned value. clean up after yourself, bestie 🧚

The DtDtsBufferToAttributeList function assumes that the buffer is readable and writable by the user, group and other file classes and selects a type accordingly. An application requiring a type based on read-only permissions should use DtDtsDataToDataType. 👑
