al_ustr_size(3)

🌈 al_ustr_size(3) 🌈

Straight from the Library Functions Manual, bestie — this is the page for al_ustr_size(3). It’s giving tiny-but-useful Allegro 5 energy. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

al_ustr_size - Allegro 5 API

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

size_t al_ustr_size(const ALLEGRO_USTR *us)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so bestie, al_ustr_size() returns the size of the string in bytes. That’s literally the byte count, no cap. 🫶

This is equal to the number of code points in the string if the string is empty or contains only 7-bit ASCII characters. So for an empty string or a pure 7-bit ASCII string, bytes and code points are twinning. ✨

Later, bestie 💅 — source/version: Allegro reference manual, for the al_ustr_size(3) page. The original footer didn’t show a date, so no fake date from me — we keep it accurate, periodt. 🎀
