buffer_puts(3)

✨ buffer_puts(3) ✨

okay bestie so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual and it's literally all about buffer_puts 💖 it's giving "write a string to a buffer" and it EATS, let me tell you everything.

🌸 NAME 🌸

buffer_puts — write ASCIIZ string to buffer 💅

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

#include <libowfat/buffer.h>

int buffer_puts(buffer* b,const char* x);

yep that's the whole vibe. two args, one int back. iconic. 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so buffer_puts is like buffer_put, except the len isn't something you hand over — it gets figured out as the number of bytes before the first \0 in x ✨ ASCIIZ behavior, no cap.

now here's the tea ☕ — the difference between this and buffer_putsalign is when the flush happens:

• buffer_puts — when there isn't enough space for the new data, it calls buffer_flush before copying any data. like, clean slate first, then we write. 🧚
• buffer_putsalign — it fills up all the available space with data first, and then calls buffer_flush. main character energy, uses every last crumb. 🍓

same destination, different order of operations, and that's the whole point. iykyk. 💀

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

• 0 — everything was fine, we slayed, no notes 🫶
• -1 — error bestie 😭 and yeah, it sets errno so you can go find out what went wrong
