💖 cdb_datalen — get length of data 💖

okay bestie, welcome to cdb_datalen(3), living cozy in the Library Functions Manual ✨ this one's a lil baby function but it's so useful, i promise 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdb_datalen — get length of data

like. that's it. that's the job. and it ate 💅

---

✨ SYNTAX ✨

first things first, you gotta invite the header in:

#include <libowfat/cdb.h>

unsigned int cdb_datalen(struct cdb *c);

yes queen, one lil struct cdb * and you're in 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: cdb_datalen returns the length of the data associated with the last key you looked up — and by "looked up" i mean you used cdb_find or cdb_findnext 🎀

that's the whole thing. it's giving "how big is this data tho" and it tells you, no cap 🔥

heads up bestie: this only knows about the last key you looked up. it's not out here remembering your whole search history, it's very much living in the moment 💀

and if you also wanna know where that data actually lives? that's a whole different function, and it's literally right here: use cdb_datapos to get the position of the data 📍

so the dream team is:

• cdb_datalen → how long is it
• cdb_datapos → where is it

iconic duo, fr fr 🌈
