💖 aa_text(3) — Library Functions Manual 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about aa_text from the AA-lib crew, and it's genuinely so simple it's iconic ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

aa_text — hands you back a pointer to the text output buffer that AA-lib is using 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <aalib.h>

char *aa_text(aa_context *a);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • aa_context *a — the AA-lib context you wanna operate on, bestie. that's it, that's the whole input 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the text output buffer? it's literally just a simple array of characters, and each character is the ascii-value of a character. no cap, that's the entire vibe 🍓

the array is laid out in aa_scrheight(a) rows, and each row has aa_scrwidth(a) characters. so it's giving a nice little grid, height × width, and you already know the drill 💖

quick vibe check: the dimensions come from aa_scrheight(a) and aa_scrwidth(a) — so if you're doing math on this buffer, those are your numbers, not vibes. 🔥

👑 RETURNS 👑

a pointer to the text output buffer used by AA-lib. that's the whole gift, you're welcome 💝
