stralloc_chop(3)

💖 stralloc_chop — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to stralloc_chop(3) from the Library Functions Manual ✨ this one is short, sweet, and honestly iconic — she pops the last character off a string and hands it to you. no cap. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

stralloc_chop — remove and return last char 🫶

✨ SYNTAX ✨

lowkey just this, bestie:

#include <libowfat/stralloc.h>

int stralloc_chop(stralloc* sa);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: stralloc_chop removes the last char in the stralloc. that's it. that's the whole job. 💅

and if the stralloc is empty? she simply does nothing and returns -1. not dramatic, just unbothered. 🙈

the character she chops off gets cast to unsigned char and then returned to you. yes, cast to unsigned char — remember that part, it's giving "details matter". 👑

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

• the chopped character 🍓 — that's your girl, handed right back to you
• or -1 if the string was empty 💀 (nothing to chop, nothing to give)

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

• stralloc_chomp(3) — her sibling, the one who eats trailing newlines instead. iykyk. 🧚

and that's the page, bestie! this lil' gem lives in the Library Functions Manual and goes by stralloc_chop(3). go forth and chop responsibly. 💜✨
