PS_GET_PARAMETER(3)

💖 PS_GET_PARAMETER 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Library Functions Manual section of the docs (section 3, the "library functions" girlies 🫶), and it's literally just the manual page for PS_get_parameter. no cap. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

PS_get_parameter — gets certain parameters 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <pslib.h>

char *PS_get_parameter(PSDoc *psdoc, char *name, float modifier)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🍵 — this function gets several parameters that were set by PS_set_parameter(3).

and here's the important bit, so listen up: parameters are, by definition, string values. like, that's just what they are. string. values. periodt. 💅

⚠️ but also — this function cannot be used to retrieve resources, even if those resources were also set by PS_set_parameter(3). so don't come for it asking for resources, it's not gonna happen bestie 😭

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

it returns the value of the parameter… or NULL 🙈

(and yes, NULL is a whole vibe, it means nothing came back. check your vibes. vibe check failed fr fr 💀)

✨ SEE ALSO ✨
