💖 PS_NEW(3) — bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk: this is a page from the Library Functions Manual all about PS_new, and it is genuinely the easiest little function in the whole PostScript library situation. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

PS_new — creating a brand new PostScript document object, no cap 👑

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <pslib.h>

PSDoc * PS_new(void)

look at her. one function, zero arguments, void in the parens like she's not even asking for anything. lowkey iconic.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so PS_new creates a new document instance. that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

the tea is: internally she calls PS_new2(3) with all parameters set to NULL. so like, she's the convenience wrapper, the "just do it for me" girlie.

bestie listen 👀 — if you do not take care of error handling and memory management yourself, then this is the function you should be using, for conveniece. she's the low-effort, high-reward option. she is serving convenience. periodt.

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

• a pointer to a new instance of the PostScript document 💖
• or NULL on failure 😭 (yes, NULL — check it, don't be a stranger to error handling)

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• PS_new2(3)

iykyk — you create with one, and you say goodbye with the other 🫶
