pack_iputl(3)

💖 NAME 💖

pack_iputl — it's giving pack_putc() energy but for 32-bit Intel byte ordering words, bestie. Part of the Allegro game programming library ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro.h>

long pack_iputl(long c, PACKFILE *f);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture pack_putc, right? Iconic. Beloved. But this one? This one writes a 32-bit long to a file instead, and it does it using Intel byte ordering — that's least significant byte first, a.k.a. little-endian, iykyk 💅

So like, it's the same vibe as pack_putc, just a whole 32 bits of it, and the bytes come out in that little-endian order. No cap. 🫶

And that's the whole page, bestie!! This lil' beauty lives in the <b>Allegro manual</b> and it's serving <b>Allegro version 4.4.3</b> 🎀✨ Slay, go write some longs, mwah 💖
