✨ Trf_ClearCtrlBlock ✨ — the transform.h library manual, bestie edition 💅

okay so you're reading the Trf_ClearCtrlBlock(3) page from the transform.h library functions manual, and honestly? iconic of you. this one's short and sweet, so let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Trf_ClearCtrlBlock — it's the interface for procedures that reset the internal state of an encoder/decoder. like, the lil reset button energy. 🔄

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <transform.h>

void Trf_ClearCtrlBlock
(
     Trf_ControlBlock ctrlBlock,
     ClientData clientData
);

💖 PARAMETERS 💖

  • Trf_ControlBlock ctrlBlock — the state of the encoder/decoder. that's the whole vibe container you're resetting. 🫶
  • ClientData clientData — arbitrary information, exactly as defined in Trf_TypeDefinition.clientData. it's your lil carry-on bag of whatever you want, no questions asked. 👜

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea ☕: the generic io layer of tcl sometimes just… discards its input buffer. rude, but okay. 😭 when that happens, a procedure of this type gets called — and its whole job is to reset the internal state of the control structure and discard buffered characters. two tasks, one slay. ✨

ngl, this is a callback-style procedure type. you're not calling it, the io layer is, and it's coming for your buffers. be ready bestie 💀
