gd_tell64(3)

✨ gd_tell64 — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is gd_tell64(3), straight out of the GETDATA manual, and it's the version of gd_tell(3) that went and got itself largefile support. she's the same girl, just with bigger pockets. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#define GD_64BIT_API
#include <getdata.h>

gd_off64_t gd_tell64(DIRFILE *dirfile, const char *field_code);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So listen. This is basically gd_tell(3) but she uses an explicitly 64-bit offset type — that's gd_off64_t, bestie — and she does it no matter how big off_t happens to be. Iconic behaviour, honestly. 🦋

heads up though: she's only guaranteed to be there for you if GD_64BIT_API is defined before you #include <getdata.h>. define it first. first!! not after. i'm serious. 😭

And here's the little twin-sister situation going on:

• If off_t is already a 64-bit type, then this function is the same as gd_tell(3). literally identical, no drama, they're the same person. 💖
• Otherwise, gd_tell(3) becomes the version of this function that uses a 32-bit off_t. so like, same energy, smaller container. 🍓

periodt. that's the whole vibe. 🌸
