TICKIT_STRING_LEN(3)

💖 TICKIT_STRING_LEN(3) 💖

okay bestie so you're looking at TICKIT_STRING_LEN(3) from the Library Functions Manual ✨ and it's literally the cutest tiniest little query function in the whole tickit friend group. she does one (1) thing and she does it flawlessly, main character energy fr fr 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

tickit_string_get — query the length of a counted string 💅

not me clocking that the NAME line says tickit_string_get while the page is TICKIT_STRING_LEN(3)… that's just what the page says bestie, I'm reporting it exactly as I found it 🙈 the actual function we're hyping up below is tickit_string_len() and she's iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <tickit.h>

size_t tickit_string_len(const TickitString *s);

and then you gotta link with -ltickit or she simply will not show up to the party 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: tickit_string_len() hands you back the size, in bytes, of the character buffer that's stored inside your counted string instance 💖

that's it. that's the whole function. she counts the bytes in the stored character buffer of the counted string instance and gives you the number. no drama, no side quests, just bytes ✨

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

tickit_string_len() returns a size in bytes. periodt. 💅 a size_t, a number, the byte count, that's the whole return value story 🍓
