byte_copyr(3)

byte_copyr 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual (that's the fancy little family it lives in), and it's about copying strings — but like, backwards. yes. backwards. we love a quirky queen. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

byte_copyr — copy a string 🦋

✨ SYNTAX ✨

no cap, here's literally the whole thing you gotta write:

#include <libowfat/byte.h>

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

so you're passing an out pointer, a len, and an in pointer. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea, and it's giving reverse order:

• byte_copyr copies in[len-1] to out[len-1] 🫶
• then it copies in[len-2] to out[len-2] ✨
• and so on and so on, walking backwards through the bytes, lowkey iconic 💅
• ...all the way down until it copies in[0] to out[0] 🌸

so like, it copies the bytes from the end to the beginning. last byte first, first byte last. main character energy, honestly. 💖

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• byte_copy(3) — the forwards version, if you're not feeling the backwards vibe 🦋

and that's the whole page bestie, fr fr — it's <code>byte_copyr(3)</code>, living in the Library Functions Manual, and that's the little sign-off footer it wears at the very bottom. periodt. 💜
