scan_8int(3)

✨ NAME ✨

scan_8int — bestie, it parses an unsigned integer in octal ASCII representation 💅 (yes, base 8, the spicy one)

This one lives in the Library Functions Manual, and honestly? She's a tiny icon 👑

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/scan.h>

size_t scan_8int(const char *src,int *dest);

Like, that's it. That's the whole vibe. Two args, no drama 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕

scan_8int parses an unsigned integer in octal ASCII representation from src and writes the result into dest. It returns the number of bytes read from src.

That's the whole thing, bestie. It reads, it converts, it tells you how many bytes it ate. iconic behaviour honestly 🌈

• src — the string it's reading from, it's giving source material 💜
• dest — where the parsed number lands, the final destination of the data's main character arc ✨

And the return value? The number of bytes read from src. Lowkey the most important part, ngl — that's how you know where you are in the string 🦋

fr fr, if you're chaining scans together, that return value is your bestie. Don't sleep on it 💀
