open_read(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to open_read(3) from the Library Functions Manual. it's a libowfat situation, and the assignment is simple: open a file for reading. that's it, that's the vibe. 💅

✨ SYNTAX ✨

to use it, you gotta include the header and call it like this:

#include <libowfat/open.h>

int open_read(const char *filename);

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

open_read opens the file called filename for reading, then returns the file handle. slay. 📖✨

if there was an error opening the file, open_read returns -1 and sets errno accordingly. no silent ghosting, bestie — check that errno. 😭
