🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/byte.h>

void byte_copy(char *out,size_t len,const char *in);

no cap, that's the whole thing. short. sweet. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, and it is SO simple:

byte_copy copies in[0] to out[0], in[1] to out[1], etc., and finally in[len-1] to out[len-1].

like... she just goes down the line, one byte at a time, matching them up by index. that's it. that's the function. every byte in in finds its twin in out. matching outfits. bestie behavior fr fr. 💜

ngl this is the kind of function that looks like nothing and then carries half your codebase. respect the craft. 👑
