💖 flexiblas_current_backend(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the FlexiBLAS corner of the manual — this one's flexiblas_current_backend(3), straight from The FlexiBLAS Library, and it's literally the "who am I talking to rn" function. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

flexiblas_current_backend — return the name of the currently used backend.

like... it tells you which backend is the main character right now. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <flexiblas/flexiblas_api.h>

int flexiblas_current_backend(char * name, size_t *len );

and don't forget, bestie:

Link with -lflexiblas.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea 🍓 — flexiblas_current_backend copies the name of the currently loaded backend into the buffer that name points at, and the length of that buffer is len.

but wait, there's a plot twist 😭 — if the name is longer than the buffer, only the first len-1 characters get copied. she said "I'll give you what fits, no more." iconic honestly.

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

on success? you get the length of the backend's name, determined by strlen. slay. 💖

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

No errors occur.

literally nothing can go wrong here. the vibes are immaculate. no notes. ✨
