PS_SET_PARAMETER(3)

💖 PS_set_parameter — bestie, it sets the parameters 💖

okay so this is PS_set_parameter, from the Library Functions Manual (that's section 3, the library-call girlies 💅). sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

PS_set_parameter — literally sets certain parameters. that's the whole job. iconic, honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pslib.h>

void PS_set_parameter(PSDoc *psdoc, char *name, char *value)

no return value, bestie. it's a void. it does the thing and leaves. main character energy 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕ — this function sets several parameters that many other functions use. like, a whole bunch of them are relying on these values, so this is lowkey a big deal.

Parameters are, by definition, string values. that's it. strings. no numbers, no vibes, just strings ✨.

and here's the part you need to know, fr fr: if a parameter value is shaped like name=value, that's called a resource 💫. Resources get used all the time to set stuff like afm or pfb files. so when you're out here passing name=value around, you're doing resources, and you're slaying at it.
