🦋 al_ustr_dup_substr 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

al_ustr_dup_substr — Allegro 5 API

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

ALLEGRO_USTR *al_ustr_dup_substr(const ALLEGRO_USTR *us, int start_pos,
   int end_pos)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Return a new copy of a string, containing its contents in the byte interval [start_pos, end_pos). yes bestie, that’s the byte interval — start_pos is in, end_pos is out, and the new string will be NUL terminated and will need to be freed with al_ustr_free(3). no cap, free it. 🫶

If necessary, use al_ustr_offset(3) to find the byte offsets for a given code point that you are interested in. that’s the whole trick for lining up code points with byte positions, iykyk. 💅
