TICKIT_STRING_GET(3)

✨ TICKIT_STRING_GET(3) ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 we're in the Library Functions Manual and today's main character is tickit_string_get, from the tickit crew. it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility" and honestly? obsessed.

🌸 NAME 🌸

tickit_string_get — obtain the characters from a counted string

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <tickit.h>

const char *tickit_string_get(const TickitString *s);

Link with -ltickit.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the vibe: tickit_string_get() hands you back a pointer to the actual stored character buffer that lives inside the counted string instance. like, not a copy, not a little dupe, the real one. it's the string's own inner self, no cap 🔥

and because it's the real deal, you have to treat it as immutable. the caller must not modify this buffer. do not touch. do not poke. do not s[0] = 'x' it. it's not yours, it's the string's, and we respect boundaries in this house 🫶

⚠️ lowkey important: that buffer is read-only for you. modify it and you're on your own, bestie. no refunds 💀

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

tickit_string_get() returns a NUL-terminated string pointer. that's it, that's the whole tea ✨
