Trf_CreateOptions(3)

πŸ’– Trf_CreateOptions(3) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual ✨ this one is Trf_CreateOptions, and it's genuinely one of the more chill pages in the transform.h cinematic universe, so let's go 🌸


🌟 NAME 🌟

Trf_CreateOptions β€” the interface to the procedures that create a container holding option values. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she's a doorway, not a destination πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <transform.h>

Trf_Options Trf_CreateOptions(ClientData clientData);

like, that's the whole thing. one include, one call, one handle back πŸ¦‹


πŸ“ PARAMETERS πŸ“

  • ClientData clientData β€” arbitrary information, as defined in Trf_TypeDefinition.clientData. yes bestie, arbitrary. it's your little bag of whatever you need to carry around, and the type definition is where the rules live πŸ“¦

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so here's the tea β˜• β€” it's your responsibility (yes, yours, the procedure you're writing) to create and initialize a container that's gonna hold option values. not just create. create AND initialize. the glow-up has to be complete before you hand it over ✨

and then? you have to return an opaque handle to that brand-new container. opaque, meaning everybody else just holds the handle and vibes β€” nobody's peeking inside. it's giving main character energy with a mystery backstory πŸ’…

fr fr, don't skip the init step. a container that's just created and not initialized is not the serve you think it is 😭

the whole friend group, no cap 🌈


and that's the page, bestie 🫢 this lil writeup came to you courtesy of c2man transform.h, dated 27 August 2002 β€” yeah, she's vintage and she still ate πŸ’– go forth and return that opaque handle, i'm obsessed with you, periodt πŸ‘‘
