buffer_fromarray(3)

💖 NAME 💖

buffer_fromarray — initialize buffer structure from array

✨ SYNTAX ✨

#include <libowfat/array.h>
#include <libowfat/buffer.h>

void buffer_fromarray(buffer* b,array* a);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay bestie so buffer_fromarray makes a virtual read buffer out of an array. like, it's giving buffer energy but the data is lowkey just living in your array the whole time ✨

The buffer reading functions will be able to read until the end of the data in the array, and then — boom — they signal EOF. no drama, just done 💅

The buffer does not have its own buffer space, bestie. it reuses the one in the array. sharing is caring fr fr 🫶

⚠️ Do not touch the array until you are done with the buffer! like literally hands off 🙈 the way that array is now the buffer's whole personality... don't be messing with it mid-read, i'm begging 😭

Reading data from the buffer will not change the stralloc. no cap, your data stays exactly where it is 💀✨
