aa_fonts(3)

✨ aa_fonts ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about aa_fonts(3) from the Library Functions Manual β€” yes it's a whole manual page for one variable, and honestly? iconic. πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_fonts β€” a null-terminated array of available fonts. that's it. that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

#include <aalib.h>

extern const struct aa_font *aa_fonts[];

like, look at her. extern, const, array of pointers to struct aa_font, no cap. she's giving "I hold every font this library knows about." πŸ”₯


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

Null-terminated array of available fonts.

fr fr, that's the entire description. she's a short queen. a null-terminated array, meaning you walk it until you hit that NULL and then you stop, bestie, because the party's over. every entry is a const struct aa_font *. the fonts live in there. all of them. go look. πŸ‘‘

the whole aalib extended universe showed up to the group chat, and not one of them left us on read:


lowkey a public array with extern linkage means you can just... read it. walk it. find your font. slay. ✨

and that's the page!! mwah πŸ’‹ this lil manpage was brought to you by c2man aalib.h, dated 8 September 1999 β€” yes she's vintage, yes she still ate, we love a legacy icon πŸ‘‘πŸ¦‹πŸ’œ
