💖 hdf_search_path(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to hdf_search_path from util/neo_hdf.h — yes it's a man page, yes it's giving library-internals, but we're gonna make it make sense. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

hdf_search_path — find a file given a search path in HDF 🔍

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <util/neo_hdf.h>

NEOERR* hdf_search_path (HDF *hdf, const char *path, char *full);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hdf — the hdf dataset to use. this is the one doing the heavy lifting, main character energy fr.
  • path — the relative path. the little baby path, not the full one yet 💅
  • full — a pointer to a _POSIX_PATH_MAX buffer. that's where the glow-up result goes.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so hdf_search_path is a convenience/utility function — literally its whole job is searching for relative filenames in a search path. it's the friend who goes "hold on, let me find that for you" 🫶

and where does it look? the search path is the list given by the children of hdf.loadpaths. that's the vibe. that's the whole map. no cap.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

  • full — the full path of the file. it comes back all grown up ✨
