💖 NE_BUFFER_CREATE(3) 💖

okay bestie, this is the neon API reference page for creating string buffers. it’s giving “tiny but essential,” and we’re gonna get you through it. 🫶✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ne_buffer_create, ne_buffer_ncreate — create a string buffer

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ne_alloc.h>

ne_buffer *ne_buffer_create(void);

ne_buffer *ne_buffer_ncreate(size_t size);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so ne_buffer_create creates a new buffer object, with an implementation-defined initial size. yes, the implementation is the main character here and picks the starting size. slay. 💅

ne_buffer_ncreate creates an ne_buffer where the minimum initial size is given in the size parameter. The buffer created will contain the empty string (""). literally starting from nothing, iconic. 🌸

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

Both functions return a pointer to a new buffer object, and never NULL. not me being obsessed with a non-NULL guarantee 😭🫶
