hdf_register_fileload(3)

💖 hdf_register_fileload — like, the manual page bestie 💖

okay so you're in the util/neo_hdf.h section of the manual, and today's main character is hdf_register_fileload(3). she's a little function with big "let me swap out the file-loading machinery" energy. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

hdf_register_fileload — register a fileload function. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <util/neo_hdf.h>

void hdf_register_fileload(HDF *hdf, void *ctx, HDFFILELOAD fileload);

look at her. three args. no return. flawless. ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hdf — pointer to a head HDF node. the top of the tree, the group chat admin, the one who knows everyone 🫶
• ctx — a pointer that gets passed to the HDFFILELOAD function when it's called. it's like the little snack you hand your friend before they go do the thing 🍓
• fileload — a HDFFILELOAD function. the replacement, the understudy, the one stepping in 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so hdf_register_fileload registers a fileload function that overrides the built-in one. no cap.

the built-in function uses hdf_search_path and ne_file_load (based on stat/open/read) to find and load the file on every hdf_read_file (including #include). like, every single time. it's giving diligent. 😭

you can override this function if you wish to provide other file search functions, or load the hdf file from an in-memory cache, etc. go off, honestly 👑

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

None. nothing. void. she gives and gives and asks for nothing back. iconic behaviour, periodt. 💖
