π Trf_FlipRegisterShort(3) π
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. π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
Trf_FlipRegisterShort β swap the bytes of all 2-byte words contained in the buffer π
like. that's her whole job. that's the whole vibe. byte-flipping icon behaviour.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
#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. π
π PARAMETERS π
void *bufferβ the data you want swapped. that's it. hand her the goods. β¨int lengthβ how long that buffer is, measured <strong>in byte</strong> (yes, singular, the manpage said it like that and we respect it). π
π DESCRIPTION π
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. π
if you've got a buffer full of shorts and the endianness is fighting for its life, this is the girl you call. π«Ά

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. π
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. πβ¨ stay hydrated, flip your bytes, and go read Trf_FlipRegisterLong(3) next. iykyk. ππ¦π
