PX_GET_RECORD(3)

💖 PX_get_record — bestie edition 💖

okay so welcome to PX_get_record(3) from the Library Functions Manual ✨ this little cutie lives in section 3 (library functions, iykyk) and it's literally your girl for pulling records out of Paradox files 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

PX_get_record — returns a record in a Paradox file 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <paradox.h>

int PX_get_record(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, int recno, char *data)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function returns the record with the given number in a Paradox file. The first record has number 0, and the last one has number number_of_records-1. no cap, it's zero-indexed, that's just how she is 💁‍♀️

and listen, bestie, if you're accessing several records, do it in ascending order, because that is the most efficient way 🔥 like, genuinely, it's giving optimization. the vibe check says go up, not down 🙈

⚠️ Note: this function is deprecated. Use PX_retrieve_record(3) instead 💀 not me warning you before you get attached. she's iconic but she's retired, periodt.

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. that's it, that's the whole vibe check — zero means slay ✨, negative one means we're crying 😭
