💖 mem_d(3) — the AA-lib memory driver, bestie 💖

Library Functions Manual ✨ this one lives in section 3, and it's literally the chillest driver in the whole AA-lib friend group.

🌸 NAME 🌸

mem_d — the AA-lib memory driver, no cap 🧠✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <aalib.h>

extern const struct aa_driver mem_d;

that's it. that's the whole entrance. she's lowkey and she knows it. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you want ascii-art images, but you do NOT want them yeeted onto an actual screen. mem_d is the driver you use to render ascii-art images into memory. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

you might use this driver to render images into memory, and then use your own routines to handle them — like, if you want to avoid AA-lib's output mechanisms entirely and do your own thing with the pixels/characters afterwards. main character energy: you handle the output, mem_d just hands you the goods. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

sibling drivers, support crew, and the whole extended AA-lib family — go say hi, they're all iconic ✨
