💖 TICKIT_PEN_ATTRNAME(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the TICKIT_PEN_ATTRNAME page from the Library Functions Manual — this is your lil' glow-up guide to pen attributes, and honestly? it's giving reference material in the best way. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

tickit_pen_attrname — return the name of a pen attribute. yes, that's literally the whole job and she does it flawlessly 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <tickit.h>

const char * tickit_pen_attrname(TickitPenAttr attr);
TickitPenAttr tickit_pen_lookup_attr(const char * name);

Link with -ltickit.

🌸 bestie don't forget that -ltickit at link time, she will NOT compile without it and you will be sad.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

tickit_pen_attrname() returns the name of the given pen attribute. these names are the lowercase strings given in tickit_pen(7). so like, hand it an attribute and it hands you back the cute lowercase name, periodt ✨

tickit_pen_lookup_attr() does the glow-up in reverse — you give it a name and it returns the attribute constant for that name. but listen: if the name is not recognised then -1 is returned. so check for that -1 before you go treating it like a real attribute, iykyk 😭

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

  • tickit_pen_attrname() returns a constant string pointer. don't go freeing it or mutating it, she's constant for a reason 🫶
  • tickit_pen_lookup_attr() returns an attribute constant, or -1 if the name wasn't recognised. that -1 is your vibe check failing 💀
