PX_GET_NUM_RECORDS(3)

💖 PX_GET_NUM_RECORDS 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for PX_get_num_records — it lives in the Library Functions Manual, section 3, and it's literally about counting records in a Paradox file. that's the whole gig. she's a simple queen and she knows it. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

PX_get_num_records — returns the number of records in a Paradox file 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <paradox.h>

int PX_get_num_records(pxdoc_t *pxdoc)

like, you include <paradox.h> first, obviously, and then you call her with a pxdoc_t *pxdoc and she hands you back an int. no cap. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns the number of records in a Paradox file.

that's it. that's the vibe. you've got a Paradox file, you've got a pxdoc_t *pxdoc pointing at it, and this function tells you how many records are chillin' inside. iconic behavior honestly 🌈

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

• Returns the number on success 🫶
• Returns -1 on failure 😭

so if you get -1 back, that's not a record count, bestie, that's a problem. check your pxdoc, fr fr.
