CK_BITMAP_BASE(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

ck_bitmap_base — determine the size of a bit array in bytes

Okay so bestie, you're on the CK_BITMAP_BASE(3) page 💅 and this function is literally the “how many bytes do my bits need?” girlie. Iconic.

💖 LIBRARY 💖

It's part of Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck). So when you link, you're linking the whole concurrency kit vibe. Slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ck_bitmap.h>

unsigned int
ck_bitmap_base(unsigned int n_bits);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The ck_bitmap_base() function returns the number of bytes that would be used to store the number of bits specified by n_bits. So like, you give it a bit count, and it tells you how many bytes that bit count would take up. Lowkey essential. No cap.

👑 RETURN VALUES 👑

This function returns a non-zero value that is guaranteed to be a multiple of sizeof(CK_BITMAP_WORD). So the return is never zero, and it's always chunky in sizeof(CK_BITMAP_WORD)-sized pieces. Periodt.
