✨ scan_xlonglong(3) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to read some hex 💅 and honestly? it's giving iconic.

this one lives in the Library Functions Manual, and its whole entire job is turning a lil string of hexadecimal text into an actual unsigned long long. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

scan_xlonglong — parse an unsigned long long integer in hexadecimal ASCII representation 🦋

like… it reads hex. that's it. that's the vibe. periodt.

---

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

#include <libowfat/scan.h>

size_t scan_xlonglong(const char *src,unsigned long long* dest);

look at her. so simple. so elegant. main character energy fr fr 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕

scan_xlonglong parses an unsigned long long integer in hexadecimal ASCII representation from src and writes the result into dest. then it tells you how many bytes it read from src — that count is what it returns. literally so helpful of her 🫶

she understands both upper and lower case letters, so DEADBEEF and deadbeef are both absolutely valid and both absolutely slay 🌈

⚠️ but bestie, listen — scan_xlonglong does not expect or understand a "0x" prefix. do NOT hand her a 0x. she will not know what to do with it. that's not her era. 💀

so like… hand her the digits. just the digits. she's got the rest. 😌
