MDEX_BASEDIR(3)

💖 MDEX_BASEDIR(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Librecast Programmer's Manual section 3, and today's main character is mdex_basedir 🎀 she's a little function with one job and she does it flawlessly, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

mdex_basedir — set the base directory for a multicast index 🗂️✨

📚 LIBRARY 📚

Librecast library (liblibrecast, -llibrecast) 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <librecast/mdex.h>

void mdex_basedir(mdex_t *mdex, char *basedir);

Compile and link with -llibrecast.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the way this works is: mdex_basedir sets the base directory for mdex to basedir. simple. iconic. she's not doing side quests.

and here's the slay part — that basedir gets stripped from the beginning of all the files added to the index with mdex_addfile(3). so like, you set the base, and every path after that gets its lil prefix trimmed off before it lands in the index. it's giving "clean up your paths" energy ✨🦋

🫧 RETURN VALUE 🫧

mdex_basedir() returns no value. she gives nothing back, and honestly? valid. 💅

💀 ERRORS 💀

None. zero. nada. not a single error to report. she simply cannot fail, and we love that for her 😭👑
