✨ aa_attrs — bestie, come get your attrs 💅

okay so this is aa_attrs(3), a page from the Library Functions Manual, and it's literally the chillest little function ever. she just hands you a pointer. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behaviour honestly 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <aalib.h>

char *aa_attrs(aa_context *a);

like, look at her. one argument. one return. no drama. we love a low-maintenance queen ✨

💜 PARAMETERS 💜

  • aa_context *a — this is the AA-lib context you wanna operate on, bestie. it's the context. the one. you gotta give her a context or she has nothing to work with 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the attribute output buffer is a simple array of characters, and those characters specify the attributes. no cap, that's what it is.

and the way it's organized? it's laid out as aa_scrheight(a) rows, each one holding aa_scrwidth(a) characters. so like, a little grid situation. rows and columns. the whole vibe 🌈

👑 RETURNS 👑

she returns a pointer to the text output buffer used by AA-lib. just a pointer. pointing at the buffer. the text output buffer. that's the tea ☕

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

okay so this is the part where I list her entire friend group and I am NOT skipping a single one, periodt. every single one of these matters, iykyk:

like. the whole squad. every single one showed up to the function. besties fr fr 💖

and that's the page!! this whole thing came to you courtesy of c2man, generated from aalib.h, dated 8 September 1999 — so yes she's a vintage queen and she still ate 💅👑 mwah, go read the source, love u bye 🦋🌸
