DTMMDBSECTIONGETSHORTTITLE(3)

💅 NAME 💅

DtMmdbSectionGetShortTitle — obtains the short title for a section, and that’s literally the whole assignment 💅. This is a library call page, bestie.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include &<DtMmdb.h>
const char* DtMmdbSectionGetShortTitle(
DtMmdbInfoRequest* request,
unsigned int* length);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so DtMmdbSectionGetShortTitle returns the short title for the specified section. Do not use the free function on the returned pointer — like, not even a little, bestie 🙈.

Table lookup is involved if the section identifier is specified by the locator_ptr field. Slay, but also noted ✨.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• request — Specifies the bookcase in the bookcase descriptor field and either the section’s Database Engine identifier (in the primary_oid field) or the section’s logical identifier (in the locator_ptr field). If both of these fields have a value, DtMmdbSectionGetShortTitle uses the locator_ptr value. Lowkey important 👀.
• length — Specifies the variable to receive the length of the returned short title, if the returned pointer to the title is not NULL. Cute little out-param energy 🎀.

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

If DtMmdbSectionGetShortTitle completes successfully, it returns a pointer to a NULL-terminated short title character string. If it fails, it returns a NULL pointer. That’s the vibe check: string pointer = iconic, NULL = not it 😭.

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

Here’s how a DtMmdbSectionGetShortTitle call might be coded, bestie:

DtMmdbInfoRequest request;
/* fill the request here */
DtMmdbSectionGetShortTitle(&&request);
