💖 Trf_SeekQueryOptions — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual, section 3, and it's literally all about Trf_SeekQueryOptions. it's giving "niche but iconic". let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Trf_SeekQueryOptions — the interface to procedures that query an option container. yes, that's the whole vibe. she's a connector, a lil bridge, a main character who introduces you to other procedures. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta include the header, no cap:

#include <transform.h>

and here's the signature, copy it exactly bestie, character for character:

void Trf_SeekQueryOptions
(
     Tcl_Interp *interp,
     Trf_Options options,
     Trf_SeekInformation *seekInfo,
     ClientData clientData
);

look at those four params. gorgeous. stunning. 🎀

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

okay so let's meet the cast, one by one:

  • Tcl_Interp *interp — the interpreter you use for reflecting the query up into tcl, if that's necessary. she's the messenger girlie, the one who carries the tea upward. ✨
  • Trf_Options options — the option container you're querying. this is the thing you're asking questions about, the subject of the interrogation, respectfully. 🔍
  • Trf_SeekInformation *seekInfo — the policy that's getting modified. yes, it's the one being changed. hold her gently. 🥺
  • ClientData clientData — arbitrary information, exactly as defined in Trf_TypeDefinition.clientData. it's whatever you want it to be, it's giving mystery, it's giving freedom. 💜

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the whole point: this procedure is allowed to change the natural seek policy that's defined for the transformation, and it does that according to the current configuration. that's it. that's the job. she adjusts the policy to match how things are configured right now. lowkey powerful, highkey specific. 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

nothing. nope. nada. she returns void and she means it. not every function has to give you something back, and honestly? respect. 💀
