👑 fmt_str(3) — Library Functions Manual 👑

okay bestie, this is the fmt_str(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and we're about to make writing an ASCII string make sense. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

• fmt_str — write an ASCII string. it's giving "put a string somewhere" energy, and honestly? iconic.

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

#include <libowfat/fmt.h>

size_t fmt_str(char *dest,const char *source);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so fmt_str copies all leading nonzero bytes from source to dest and returns the number of bytes it copied. that's the whole vibe. 💖

fmt_str does not append \0. periodt.

if dest equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_str returns the number of bytes it would have written, i.e. the number of leading nonzero bytes of source. literally just counting what would've been copied. 🦋

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

signing off from the Library Functions Manual, page fmt_str(3) — the footer has no source/version or date stamped on it, so that's all she wrote, bestie 💅🎀
