aa_scrheight(3)

✨ aa_scrheight ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the aa_scrheight(3) page from the AA-lib Library Functions Manual 💖 this one is short and sweet, and honestly? iconic for it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_scrheight — returns height of the output screen in characters.

that's it. that's the whole job. she measures, she reports, she leaves. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <aalib.h>

int aa_scrheight(aa_context *a);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• aa_context *a — Specifies the AA-lib context to operate on.

so like, you gotta hand her a context. that's the vibe. she's not gonna go guessing which screen you meant, bestie, she needs the receipts. 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Returns height of the output screen in characters.

that's it, fr fr. the number you get back is in characters, not pixels, not millimetres — characters. so when you're doing your layout math and you're like "how many rows do I even have to work with", this is the function that tells you. main character energy for a one-liner, honestly. 👑

💀 do NOT mix this up with aa_mmheight(3) or aa_imgheight(3) — those measure different things. this one is the output screen, in characters. periodt.
