💖 PX_OPEN_FILE 💖

okay bestie, so this is PX_open_file from the Library Functions Manual — it's the little function that literally just reads a Paradox file for you. no drama, no cap. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the whole vibe in two lines:

#include <paradox.h>

int PX_open_file(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, const char *filename)

she's tiny. she's iconic. she does one thing and she does it well. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically PX_open_file opens a Paradox file — the one at the filename you hand her. that's it. that's the whole job. 🫶

BUT. hear me out. the pxdoc you're passing in has to already exist before you call this. like, she's not gonna build it for you, she's not your mom. you gotta make it first with PX_new(3) or PX_new2(3). do that first, then come back. order matters, iykyk. 😌

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

  • 0 — slay, it worked, you're so valid 💖
  • -1 — nope, something went wrong, we're not okay 😭

that's the whole spectrum. no in-betweens, she's a binary queen. 👑
