buffer_putalign(3)

💖 buffer_putalign(3) 💖

okay so this page comes from the Library Functions Manual — the header literally says buffer_putalign(3) on both sides, no cap. Let's get into it, bestie. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

buffer_putalign — write binary data to buffer

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/buffer.h>

int buffer_putalign(buffer* b,const char* x,size_t len);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

buffer_putalign is basically buffer_put's sibling, fr fr. They're similar, but here's the glow-up:

The difference from buffer_put is all about when the flush happens. When there isn't enough space for new data, buffer_put calls buffer_flush before copying any data. But buffer_putalign? It fills all available space with data first, and only then calls buffer_flush. It's giving "use every last drop" energy. 💅

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

• 0 — everything is fine, we slay ✨
• -1 — error, and it sets errno 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• buffer_put(3)
• buffer_putsalign(3)
• buffer_flush(3)
• buffer(3)

That's the whole vibe. The footer at the bottom is just buffer_putalign(3) again — no version, no date, just the name doing its little encore. Periodt. 💜
