Trf_FlipRegisterShort(3)

πŸ’– Trf_FlipRegisterShort(3) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the <strong>Library Functions Manual</strong> entry for Trf_FlipRegisterShort β€” she's a lil function, she does one thing, and she does it flawlessly. no cap. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

Trf_FlipRegisterShort β€” swap the bytes of all 2-byte words contained in the buffer πŸ’…

like. that's her whole job. that's the whole vibe. byte-flipping icon behaviour.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <transform.h>

void Trf_FlipRegisterShort
(
     void *buffer,
     int length
);

note the void return, bestie β€” she's not giving you a status code, she's not giving you a gift, she's just <em>doing the thing</em> and moving on. main character energy fr fr. πŸ’œ


πŸŽ€ PARAMETERS πŸŽ€

  • void *buffer β€” the data you want swapped. that's it. hand her the goods. ✨
  • int length β€” how long that buffer is, measured <strong>in byte</strong> (yes, singular, the manpage said it like that and we respect it). πŸ“

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea: she swaps the bytes of all 2-byte words contained in the buffer.

that's it. that's the function. every 2-byte word in that buffer gets its two lil bytes traded places, and she does it for <em>all</em> of them. no shortcuts, no skipping, no "oops I missed one". it's giving meticulous. it's giving detail-oriented queen. πŸ‘‘

if you've got a buffer full of shorts and the endianness is fighting for its life, this is the girl you call. 🫢


πŸ‘€ SEE ALSO πŸ‘€

the whole friend group, in order, because we don't do half-friend-group here:


reminder bestie: the manpage says <strong>all 2-byte words contained in the buffer</strong>, so make sure your length actually matches the buffer you're handing over. she trusts you. don't do her dirty. 😭

and that's the whole page, babe β€” courtesy of c2man reading transform.h, dated <strong>27 August 2002</strong>, which is genuinely ancient but she's still slaying. πŸŽ€βœ¨ stay hydrated, flip your bytes, and go read Trf_FlipRegisterLong(3) next. iykyk. πŸ’–πŸ¦‹πŸ’
