PARPORT_LIST(3)

💖 parport_list — a whole collection of parallel ports, bestie 💖

okay so this is a page from section 3 of the manual — the Structures corner of it — and it's all about the lovely little parport_list vibe. iykyk. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, include the header first, obviously:

#include <ieee1284.h>

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

A parport_list structure is just a vector of parport structures. that's it. that's the whole thing. it's giving "glorified array but make it official". ✨

---

🎀 STRUCTURE MEMBERS 🎀

the structure has the following members, no cap:

struct parport_list {
  /* Number of elements in the vector. */
  int portc;

  /* The ports. */
  struct parport **portv;
};

so portc is the number of elements in the vector (the headcount, the guest list 💅) and portv is the actual ports themselves, as a struct parport **. the way that it's just a pointer-to-pointer... iconic. 🔥

and that's the whole page, bestie! 🌈💖 this cutie landed on 09/18/2007, it's part of the PARPORT_LIST(3) situation (manual name PARPORT_LIST, section 3, and the source/version line is exactly PARPORT_LIST(3) — periodt 💅). go forth and enumerate those ports, you got this. 🦋✨🎀
