set_wrap(3)

πŸ“¦ version 1.6, in fedora 43, fedora 44

πŸ’– set_wrap πŸ’–

ok so bestie, we're in the gstream manual and this little cutie is called set_wrap β€” she's a function, she's a vibe, she controls whether your text gets all cozy and line-breaky or just... doesn't. 🌸


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gstream.h>

void set_wrap(bool w);

like, that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. πŸͺ„


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

ok so picture this: if you set this bad boy to true, the outputter will literally launch a newline the second your text is too wide to fit the line. it's giving "make it fit, bestie." πŸ’… and the wrap happens at the spaces between the words, so it's a clean break, no mid-word chaos, no cap.

but listen. if one single word is too wide all on its own? 😭 it'll just get outputted with a newline before and after it, which means it gets a whole line to itself β€” main character energy, honestly β€” and it'll probably be truncated by Allegro's clipping mechanism. so like, she's thriving but she's also getting cut off. it's giving tragic.

πŸ’€ important bestie: the inputter does NOT wrap the lines. only the outputter. so don't come for the inputter, she's not involved.

and the default value? false. so if you don't call this, no wrapping, no newlines, nothing. you gotta ask for the wrap, she's not gonna just do it unprompted. πŸ™ˆ


that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it. 🫢 this lil gem lives in the gstream manual, it's version 1.6, and it's literally called set_wrap(3) if you ever need to find her again. go forth and wrap responsibly. β­πŸŽ€βœ¨
