array_bytes(3)

💖 array_bytes(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual ✨ this one is called array_bytes, and it lives in section 3 (that's the library functions girlies, iykyk) 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

array_bytes — get number of allocated members in array 👑

✨ SYNTAX ✨

first you gotta include the header, no skipping bestie:

#include <libowfat/array.h>

int64 array_bytes(array* x);

and here's how it actually looks in the wild, like in your actual code:

array x;
int64 bytes = array_bytes(&x);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so array_bytes returns the number of initialized bytes in x, and it does that without regard to t 💅 like, t is not invited to this conversation, periodt.

and here's the lil plot twist: if x is unallocated, then array_length and array_bytes return 0 🫶 both of them. zero. the void. iconic behaviour honestly.

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

go read these too, they're all in the family:

• array_allocate(3)
• array_get(3)
• array_fail(3)
• array_length(3)

okay that's the whole page bestie, no cap 🌈 and just so you know, this was the array_bytes(3) page from the Library Functions Manual — section 3, that exact name at the bottom, mwah 💋 slay, go forth and count your bytes 💖✨🎀
