array_cate(3)

💖 array_cate(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the array_cate page from the Library Functions Manual — yes it's a manual page, yes it's iconic, and yes we're gonna read it together like it's the group chat 💅

✨ NAME ✨

array_cate — append a subset of one array to another array 🫶

---

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

first things first, you gotta include the header, no cap:

#include <libowfat/array.h>

and here's the whole function signature, character for character:

void array_cate(array* x,array* y, int64 pos,int64 stop);

and here's how the girlies actually call it:

  array x;
  array y;
  int64 pos;
  int64 stop;
  array_cate(&x,y,pos,stop);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so array_cate is literally like array_cat... but make it selective ✨ it only uses byte positions pos through stop-1 in y. that's the vibe. a little slice, a little moment, a little main character energy for a subset of your array.

now for the part where it can go wrong 😭 it fails if:

• pos is negative
• stop is smaller than pos
• the number of initialized bytes in y is smaller than stop

bestie if any of those happen, it's not slaying, it's failing. periodt. 💀
