🎀 FUNCTION PROTOTYPE 🎀

void c_nngetr(char *, float *);

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

c_nngetr (pnam,fval)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

  • pnam — a string that tells us the name of the parameter you wanna get. heads up tho: the name has to appear as the first three characters of the string. so like, the first three chars, that's the name, no cap.
  • fval — *fval is gonna be the value that's currently assigned to the control parameter whose name is pointed to by pnam. so you hand it a pointer, it fills in the tea. slay ✨
