LOWDOWN_BUF_NEW(3)

✨ LOWDOWN_BUF_NEW(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual 💖 this one's lowdown_buf_new from the one and only liblowdown and it's literally so simple you're gonna slay it

🌸 NAME 🌸

lowdown_buf_new — allocate a dynamic buffer 💅

📚 LIBRARY 📚

library “liblowdown” 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <sys/queue.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <lowdown.h>

struct lowdown_buf *
lowdown_buf_new(size_t growsz);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So like, this function allocates a dynamic buffer that grows in increments of size growsz, okay? and the way that growsz may not be zero — that's the vibe check right there, it literally can't be zero, so don't even try it 🙈

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

It returns a pointer to a buffer, or NULL on memory failure 😭 (yeah, tragic, but it happens).

bestie, listen: that pointer must be freed with lowdown_buf_free(3) — no leaving it hanging, that's not the move 🫶
