πŸ’– lsm_strin..._elem_get(3) πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual β€” the manual name is literally lsm_strin..._elem_get(3), yes the name is truncated like that, that's just how it is, we don't question it ✨


✨ NAME ✨

lsm_string_list_elem_get β€” retrieve a specified index of string from lsm_string_list.

like. you have a list of strings. you want ONE of them. by number. that's the whole gig πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char  * lsm_string_list_elem_get (lsm_string_list *sl, uint32_t
       index);

yes queen, that's the exact signature, const char * and all β€” don't you dare free that pointer, we'll get to that 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • sl β€” an lsm_string_list. it's the string list you're pulling from, the source of truth, the main character of this operation πŸ‘‘
  • index β€” a uint32_t. it's the index of the element string you want to retrieve. starting from 0. zero. not one. zero. iykyk 😭

πŸ¦‹ VERSION πŸ¦‹

1.0


🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

retrieves the specified index of string from lsm_string_list. that's it. that's the vibe check. you give it an index, it gives you back the string living at that spot. simple. iconic. slay ✨


πŸ’€ NOTE πŸ’€

ok listen up, this one is important and it's giving "read me twice":
  • the address returned is valid until lsm_string_list gets freed. so if you need that string to stick around for longer scope, copy the return value. no cap.
  • do NOT free the returned string. like. don't. it's not yours. it belongs to the list. freeing it is not the move, bestie πŸ™ˆ

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns a string. it's NULL if:

  • the argument 'sl' is NULL, or
  • it's not a valid lsm_string_list pointer, or
  • you're out of index 🫠

so like, always check for NULL, fr fr.
