QB_ARRAY_CREATE_2(3)

💖 QB_ARRAY_CREATE_2 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the libqb Programmer's Manual (it's a section 3 page, so you know it's a C function situation 💅) and honestly? it's giving "let me build you an array with fixed sized elements" and I am obsessed.

---

✨ NAME ✨

qb_array_create_2 — Create an array with fixed sized elements.

no cap, that's the whole job. she creates arrays. fixed sized elements only. iconic behaviour tbh.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qb/qbarray.h>

qb_array_t * qb_array_create_2(
    size_t  max_elements,       /* initial max elements */
    size_t  element_size,       /* size of each element */
    size_t  autogrow_elements   /* the number of elements to grow automatically by. */
);

like… look at her. three size_t params and a qb_array_t * return. chef's kiss 🫶

---

🎀 PARAMS 🎀

• max_elements — the initial max elements. like, how many lil slots you're starting with. the starting lineup, if you will 👑
• element_size — size of each element. every element's gotta be the same size, that's the vibe, that's the whole point 🦋
• autogrow_elements — the number of elements to grow automatically by. so when she needs more room she just… grows by this much. lowkey self-care fr fr ✨

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so the original page just… leaves this section blank. no description. nothing. the silence is deafening 💀

not me pointing out that the DESCRIPTION has zero description. it's giving mystery, it's giving "figure it out from the params bestie". we respect the ambiguity 🎀

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

an array instance. that's it, that's the tea. you get back a qb_array_t * (the array instance) and you go live your life ⭐
