PS_GET_OPAQUE(3)

💅 PS_GET_OPAQUE 💅

okay bestie, this is a page from the Library Functions Manual, section 3 — it's PS_GET_OPAQUE(3), and it's literally the shortest little bop in the pslib friend group. it's giving "small but essential", no cap. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

PS_get_opaque — returns the pointer which has been passed to PS_new2()

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <pslib.h>

void * PS_get_opaque(PSDoc *psdoc)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the lore, bestie. when you make a brand new document with PS_new2(3), you're allowed to hand it some user data — your own little secret stash of a pointer. that data gets tucked away internally, and every single time the errorhandler gets called, that same data gets passed along to it. so it's always there, riding shotgun. 💖

and later on, whenever you want it back? that's literally what this function is for. you call PS_get_opaque(), and boom — your pointer comes home. 🦋

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

the pointer that you passed to PS_new2() in the first place. that's it, that's the whole vibe check. iconic.
