🎀 read_rawresource — the Arcan Lua API cutie 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to read_rawresource(3), a page from the Arcan Lua API 💜 — manual name folded in right here, you’re welcome 💅. This one reads a line from the globally shared raw resource handle. That’s the whole little mission, no cap ✨.

🫶 NAME 🫶

read_rawresource — read a line from the globally shared raw resource handle. That’s it, that’s the gig 🎀.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the shape is literally:

line
read_rawresource()

🌸 NOTES 🌸

  1. Each "line" is constrained to a maximum of 4096 characters — no sprawling novel energy, bestie 📏.
  2. Leading and trailing whitespace is removed — so don’t count on your extra cozy spaces surviving, fr fr 🧚.

💖 EXAMPLE 💖

the example is giving test-it-out energy:

function read_rawresource0()
      zap_resource("test.txt");
      open_rawresource("test.txt");
      write_rawresource("linea");
      close_rawresource();
      open_rawresource("test.txt");
      local line = read_rawresource();
      close_rawresource();
      if (line == "linea") then
            warning("resource test OK");
      else
            warning("resource test failed");
      end
end
