PX_OPEN_BLOB_FILE(3)

💖 PX_OPEN_BLOB_FILE(3) — the girlies' guide to opening Paradox blob files 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for PX_open_blob_file, living its best life in the Library Functions Manual. this one's a classic, but it's also deprecated, so buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

PX_open_blob_file — opens a Paradox blob file (and yeah, it's deprecated 💀)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <paradox.h>

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

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, this function opens up a file that's full of blobs, and that file's name is filename. simple. iconic. main character energy 🦋

BUT. this function is deprecated. no cap. it's giving "please stop using me." instead, use PX_set_blob_file(3) and PX_get_data_blob(3) or PX_get_data_graphic(3). those are the ones you actually want, bestie 🫶

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

• 0 — slay, it worked, success 💅
• -1 — nope, it failed, we're crying 😭

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• PX_new_blob(3)
• PX_open_blob_fp(3)
