IXP_READ(3)

💖 NAME 💖

ixp_read, ixp_pread — okay bestie, this is the IXP_READ(3) page from the Library Functions Manual, and these two are the read girlies you need to know. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ixp.h>

long ixp_read(IxpCFid *fid, void *buf, long count);

long ixp_pread(IxpCFid *fid, void *buf, long count, int64_t offset);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• buf — the buffer where the read data gets stored. 💖
• count — how many bytes to read.
• offset — the offset where reading starts.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so ixp_read and ixp_pread each read count bytes of data from the file pointed to by fid, into buf.

ixp_read begins reading at its stored offset, and increments it by the number of bytes read. ixp_pread reads beginning at offset and does not alter fid's stored offset. 🫶

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

These functions return the number of bytes read on success and -1 on failure. That's the whole vibe check. 😭
