💖 qt_dictionary_put(3) — the libqthread girlies know 💖

okay so bestie, we're in libqthread territory and this page is literally about putting stuff into a dictionary. iconic behavior, fr fr. no cap, this is the one you want. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

qt_dictionary_put — insert a key/value pair into a dictionary

like. the name says it all. you put a thing in. slay. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qthread/dictionary.h>

void *
qt_dictionary_put (qt_dictionary *dict,
                   void *key,
                   void *value);

look at her. three args. clean. no notes. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: this function inserts a key/value pair — that's the key and the value you handed it — into the dictionary called dict. 💖

And here's the plot twist that actually matters: if the key already exists within the dictionary, the value associated with it is replaced by value. So it's not like, "oops, already taken, sorry babe" — no, it straight up swaps the old value out for the new one. that's main character energy honestly. 🔥

🎀 RETURN VALUES 🎀

  • Returns the address of the item in the dictionary after the put 💖
  • Or NULL if the insert failed 😭 — yes bestie, you have to check for this one. do not skip the vibe check.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole girl squad, fr fr. go read these too, they're all in the family:

(that last one is literally her more cautious sister btw — she checks first. this one doesn't. iykyk. 🧚)

okay and just so you know — if NULL comes back, that's the insert being like "not today". always be checking. 💀

later babes!! this was libqthread, qt_dictionary_put(3), dated AUGUST 2012 — yeah she's an elder but she still ate 💅✨ mwah, go put some keys in a dictionary bestie 🍓🫶
