💖 hdf_get_value(3) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about hdf_get_value(3) from util/neo_hdf.h — yes, the header is literally right there in the title, iykyk 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

hdf_get_value — it returns the value of a node in the data set. that's it. that's the whole job. and she does it flawlessly, no cap 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <util/neo_hdf.h>

char *hdf_get_value (HDF *hdf, const char *name, const char *defval);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hdf → the dataset node you're starting your little journey from 🚶♀️
  • name → the name you walk the data set with to get where you're going
  • defval → the default value that gets returned if the node doesn't exist. your safety net, your emotional support fallback 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea: hdf_get_value walks the data set pointed to by hdf via name and returns the string value located there, or defval if the node doesn't exist. like, she goes on the walk, and if the node is home she hands you the string value, and if the node ghosted you, you get defval instead. no drama, no crash, just vibes ✨

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

None.

bestie. that is literally all the manpage says. it says None. we're not gonna pretend it says more than that. the audacity?? 😭 but ok, we move.
