hdf_get_valuef(3)

💖 hdf_get_valuef(3) — a util/neo_hdf.h bestie moment 💖

✨ NAME ✨

hdf_get_valuef — return the value of a node in the data set, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <util/neo_hdf.h>

char* hdf_get_valuef (HDF *hdf, const char *namefmt, ...)
                      ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF(2,3);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hdf -> the dataset node to start from
• namefmt -> the printf-style format string

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so bestie, hdf_get_valuef walks the data set pointed to by hdf via namefmt printf expanded with varargs, and returns the string value located there, or NULL if it doesn’t exist. Literally that’s the whole vibe check.

This differs from hdf_get_value in that there is no default value possible. No fallback, no backup plan, no “just in case” default — it’s giving main character energy with zero safety net 😭.

---

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

The page says exactly: None.

That’s it. That’s the whole section. No extra return-value lore, no secret footnote, just None, bestie. (Yes, the DESCRIPTION above says it returns the string value or NULL; I’m not rewriting the facts, I’m just reporting what this section says. 💅)
