CK_ARRAY_BUFFER(3)

💖 ck_array_buffer — bestie, it hands you the receipts 📜✨

okay so this is ck_array_buffer(3) from the Concurrency Kit, aka libck (link it with -lck, mwah 💅). It's the little function that goes "hey, here's the array of pointers your readers can currently see, and also here's how long it is." iconic behaviour honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ck_array.h>

void *
ck_array_buffer(ck_array_t *array, unsigned int *length);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so ck_array_buffer(3) gives you back a pointer to the array of pointers that readers can currently see in array — specifically, the state of things after the last commit operation. like, the version that's actually live for the readers, not some half-finished draft bestie 💀

and the unsigned int that length points at? yeah, that gets updated to reflect the length of the array. so you get the pointer AND the count. two for one, we love a multitasker 🫶

✨ RETURN VALUES ✨

it returns a pointer to an array of pointers. that's it, that's the vibe. periodt. 👑
