💖 NET_CompareAddresses(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the NET_CompareAddresses page — it's a section 3 joint from the SDL_net3 functions lineup, and honestly? it's a little bop. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

NET_CompareAddresses — compare two NET_Address objects, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3_net/SDL_net.h>

int NET_CompareAddresses(const NET_Address *a, const NET_Address *b);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does this icon actually do? it compares two addresses, periodt. and the value it hands back is literally built to be useful for qsort (or SDL_qsort). 🦋

like, that's the whole vibe — it's your sort-friendly little comparison function. 🌸

✨ FUNCTION PARAMETERS ✨

  • a — the first address you're comparing. one half of the showdown. 💜
  • b — the second address you're comparing. the other half. 🫶

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

  • a value less than zero if a is "less than" b
  • a value greater than zero if a is "greater than" b
  • zero if they're equal 💀✨

that's it, that's the tea. classic three-way compare, the way qsort likes it. 🔥

✨ THREAD SAFETY ✨

good news bestie: it is safe to call this function from any thread. no stress, no drama, go off. 👑

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

this function has been available since SDL_net 3.0.0. it's been here, it's been iconic. ⭐

reminder: this is NET_CompareAddresses(3), from the SDL_net manual — documented at version SDL_net 3.2.0. mwah, go sort something pretty 💖🌈💅
