hdf_read_string(3)

💖 hdf_read_string — bestie edition 💖

okay so you're here for hdf_read_string, which lives in manual section 3, and its whole entire thing is in util/neo_hdf.h. pull up a chair, this page is short but it's iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

hdf_read_string — read an HDF string

and then, because the original page is being so mysterious about it, the name section also just leaves these three little sticky notes lying there, verbatim, with nothing after them:

• Description:
• Input:
• Output:

that's it. that's the lore. the manpage is giving cryptic main character energy and honestly? we respect it. 🙈

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <util/neo_hdf.h>

NEOERR* hdf_read_string (HDF *hdf, const char *s);

so you pull in the header, and then you call it with an HDF *hdf and a const char *s, and it hands you back a NEOERR*. two arguments, one return, no notes. clean. 💅

ngl bestie, this one is a short read. but that's not a bad thing — sometimes the vibe is just "here's the function, here's the header, here's 39 friends, go off." 💖
