gd_seek64(3)

💖 gd_seek64 — it's the GETDATA girlies' fave, bestie 💖

okay so welcome to the getdata section of the manual (section 3, the library-call girlies, iykyk) and today's main character is gd_seek64, no cap 💅

✨ NAME ✨

gd_seek64 — grab data out of a Dirfile database, but make it largefile support 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#define GD_64BIT_API
#include <getdata.h>

gd_off64_t gd_seek64(DIRFILE *dirfile, const char *field_code,
       gd_off64_t frame_num, gd_off64_t sample_num, int flags);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this is literally the 64-bit-coded version of gd_seek(3), and the way that it does that is by using an offset type that is explicitly 64-bit — gd_off64_t — and it does that regardless of how big off_t is. She does not care. She is 64-bit and she's not shrinking herself for anybody 👑

But bestie, listen — she's only guaranteed to be available if you #define GD_64BIT_API before you #include <getdata.h>. That's the whole vibe check. Miss that and she might not show up. 🫶

Now the plot twist:

• If off_t is already a 64-bit type, this function will be the same as gd_seek(3). Same girl, different name tag 💅
• Otherwise, gd_seek(3) is a version of this function that uses a 32-bit off_t. So she's like the little sister version. Still iconic, just smaller. 🧚
