ecoli_string(3)

💖 ecoli_string 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ecoli_string from the Library Functions Manual — it's the string manipulation page and honestly? it's giving utility queen. everything you need to poke, prod, compare, split and parse strings lives here. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ecoli_string — String manipulation

• Helpers for strings manipulation. (yes that's the whole vibe, she's a helper girlie ✨)

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

Helpers for strings manipulation. that's it, that's the whole mission statement, and she ate 💅

👑 Function Documentation 👑

size_t ec_strcmp_count (const char * s1, const char * s2)

count the number of identical chars at the beginning of 2 strings. like how long do these two besties walk in the same direction before they have to part ways 😭

---

int ec_str_startswith (const char * s, const char * beginning)

return 1 if 's' starts with 'beginning'. simple. iconic. no notes.

---

int ec_asprintf (char ** buf, const char * fmt, ...)

like asprintf, but use libecoli allocator. same energy, different memory plug 🔌

---

int ec_vasprintf (char ** buf, const char * fmt, va_list ap)

like vasprintf, but use libecoli allocator. the va_list sibling of the one above, matching outfits obviously 💜

---

bool ec_str_is_space (const char * s)

return true if string is only composed of spaces (' ', '

not me leaving this one exactly as it landed — the source text literally cuts off mid-list right there, bestie 😭 the docstring ends after that second quote and we're not about to invent the rest. periodt.

---

int ec_str_parse_llint (const char * str, unsigned int base, int64_t min, int64_t max, int64_t * val)

Parse a string for a signed integer.

Parameters

• str — The string to parse.
• base — The base (0 means "guess").
• min — The minimum allowed value.
• max — The maximum allowed value.
• val — The pointer to the value to be set on success.

Returns

On success, return 0. Else, return -1 and set errno. no cap, that errno thing matters 👀

---

int ec_str_parse_ullint (const char * str, unsigned int base, uint64_t min, uint64_t max, uint64_t * val)

Parse a string for an unsigned integer.

Parameters

• str — The string to parse.
• base — The base (0 means "guess").
• min — The minimum allowed value.
• max — The maximum allowed value.
• val — The pointer to the value to be set on success.

Returns

On success, return 0. Else, return -1 and set errno. same rules, same drama, just unsigned this time 🍓

💌 and that's the whole page, bestie! this one shipped as part of Libecoli, Version 0.6.0 — so go forth and manipulate some strings responsibly. mwah 🎀💖🦋 Libecoli — Version 0.6.0 🌸
