libfole(3)

💅 libfole(3) — the libfole.h glow-up

ok so real talk, bestie: this is the manual page for libfole.h from the Library Functions Manual section, and it's the Library to support the Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) data types. yes that OLE. the messy one. but like, we're handling it. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta pull it in:

#include <libfole.h>

🌸 Support functions

const char *
libfole_get_version(void);

🎀 Error functions

void
libfole_error_free(libfole_error_t **error);

int
libfole_error_fprint(libfole_error_t *error, FILE *stream);

int
libfole_error_sprint(libfole_error_t *error, char *string, size_t size);

int
libfole_error_backtrace_fprint(libfole_error_t *error, FILE *stream);

int
libfole_error_backtrace_sprint(libfole_error_t *error, char *string,
    size_t size);

🦋 Value type functions

const char *

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the main character here is libfole_get_version() — its whole job is to retrieve the library version. that's it. that's the description. iconic minimalism, honestly. ✨

---

🔥 RETURN VALUES 🔥

most of these functions return NULL or -1 on error, depending on what the return type even is. and for the actual return values? go look at "libfole.h". no cap, that's where the real tea is. 💅

---

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

None. literally nothing. no environment variables to worry about, bestie. breathe. 🧚

---

🍓 FILES 🍓

None. also nothing. we love a low-maintenance library. 💜
