QB_ARRAY_GROW(3)

💖 NAME 💖

qb_array_grow — grow the array. bestie, that's literally it, and yet. 👑

it's from the libqb Programmer's Manual (section 3, the library calls girlies 🫶).

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qb/qbarray.h>

int32_t qb_array_grow(
    qb_array_t   *a,             /* array instance */
    size_t        max_elements   /* the new maximum size of the array */
);

so you pull in the header, you hand it an array, you tell it how big you want the array to be, and it does the thing. iconic behavior honestly ✨

🎀 PARAMS 🎀

• a — the array instance itself. your actual array. the main character of this whole function. 💅
• max_elements — the new maximum size of the array. like, the new one. the glow-up size. 📏

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. not a single word in this section on the original page. the manpage authors really said "figure it out" and left it blank. 💀 no cap, i'm not making this up — there is genuinely nothing written here, and i'm not about to invent behaviour that isn't in the docs, because that would be lying to you and we don't do that in this group chat. 🙈

so like. read the SYNOPSIS, respect the PARAMS, and check the RETURN VALUE below. that's the whole vibe. 🧚

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

(0 == success, else -errno)

translation: 0 means it slayed. anything else is a negative errno, so like, go look up what went wrong. 😭
