💖 str_start(3) — Library Functions Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the str_start page, fresh off the Library Functions Manual press 🎀 she's a tiny function with one job and she does it flawlessly, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

str_start — compare prefixes of strings 🦋

like. she checks if one string is the beginning of another. that's the whole vibe. iykyk.

✨ SYNTAX ✨

#include <libowfat/str.h>

size_t str_start(const char* a,const char* b);

yes the include is literally <libowfat/str.h>, don't @ me, just paste it in 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

str_start returns 1 if b is a prefix of a, and 0 otherwise.

that's it. that's the function. main character energy with zero drama ✨

so like, quick vibe check: is b sitting right at the front of a, all cozy, matching character for character? then you get a 1. if not? 0. no in-between, no maybe, she's not ambiguous 💀

fr fr that's the whole contract. read it, love it, ship it 🫶
