buffer_putsalign(3)

💖 buffer_putsalign — bestie, we're writing an ASCIIZ string straight into a buffer 💖

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Library Functions Manual, and the star of the show is buffer_putsalign(3). she's a tiny little libowfat function with main character energy and honestly? she ate. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

buffer_putsalign — write ASCIIZ string to buffer

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/buffer.h>

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so buffer_putsalign is literally just like buffer_putalign, except the len is figured out for you: it's the number of bytes before the first \0 in x. no cap. that's the whole vibe check. 🫶

basically, if x is an ASCIIZ string (that's fancy talk for "a string that ends in a \0"), she counts how many bytes come before that \0 and uses that as the length. periodt. 💅

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

• 0 — everything is fine, we're slaying, nothing to worry about ✨
• -1 — uh oh, error time 😭 and yes, errno gets set, so go check on her

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• buffer_puts(3)
• buffer_put(3)
• buffer_flush(3)
• buffer(3)

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was buffer_putsalign(3) from the Library Functions Manual — no date on this one, she's timeless like that 💜 stay hydrated, flush your buffers, and go read buffer_flush(3) next, iykyk 🧚✨
