PX_CREATE_BLOB_FILE(3)

💖 PX_create_blob_file 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual — yes this is a real section of the real manual, and yes we're about to make blob files together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

PX_create_blob_file — it literally just creates a Paradox blob file 💅 that's the whole job, that's the whole vibe.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <paradox.h>

int PX_create_blob_file(pxblob_t *pxblob, const char *filename)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the way this works: it creates a brand new file with the name filename, and that file is full of blobs. that's it. that's the function. iconic behaviour honestly 💖

😭 okay so the sad part: this function is deprecated. not cancelled, just... deprecated. it still exists, but you should not be building your whole personality around it. instead, use PX_set_blob_file(3) and then PX_get_data_blob(3) or PX_get_data_graphic(3). that's the glow-up path. periodt 💅

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

• 0 — success, we ate, no notes ✨
• -1 — failure, it's giving flop 😭
