scan_uint(3)

💖 scan_uint — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the scan_uint page, straight outta the Library Functions Manual ✨ this is a little one but she's iconic and she does exactly one thing and she does it well 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

scan_uint — parse an unsigned integer in decimal ASCII representation 💅

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

#include <libowfat/scan.h>

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ scan_uint parses an unsigned integer in decimal ASCII representation from src, and writes the result into dest. that's the whole vibe, no cap 💜

and what does she give back? she returns the number of bytes read from src 👑 that's your return value, that's the size_t, that's the receipt 🧾

literally it's giving "read some digits, drop the number off at dest, tell you how much of the string she consumed" 🌈 and honestly? we're obsessed 😭
