HPL_max(3)

✨ NAME ✨

HPL_max — bestie, this one combines (max) two buffers 💖

So like, it's an HPL Library function, and its whole personality is taking two buffers and maxing them together. Obsessed.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include "hpl.h"

void HPL_max( const int N, const void * IN, void * INOUT, const
HPL_T_TYPE DTYPE );

There she is 👑 the whole signature, no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

HPL_max combines (max) two buffers. That's it, that's the vibe 💅 it takes two buffers and combines them with a max operation. Lowkey iconic, highkey useful.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• N — (input) const int

On entry, N specifies the length of the buffers to be combined. And listen, N must be at least zero, fr fr 🙈 no negative lengths allowed, that's not the vibe.

• IN — (input) const void *

On entry, IN points to the input-only buffer to be combined. She's input-only, bestie — she gives, she does not receive 💜

• INOUT — (input/output) void *

On entry, INOUT points to the input-output buffer to be combined. On exit, the entries of this array contain the combined results. So she goes in as one thing and comes out ✨transformed✨ main character energy honestly.

• DTYPE — (input) const HPL_T_TYPE

On entry, DTYPE specifies the type of the buffers operands. Like, she needs to know what kind of data she's working with, periodt.
