TICKIT_STRING_NEW(3)

💖 NAME 💖

tickit_string_new — bestie, we're making a counted string ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <tickit.h>

TickitString *tickit_string_new(const char *str, size_t len);

Link with -ltickit.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so. tickit_string_new() creates a brand-new TickitString instance, and it gets initialised with the contents of the string buffer you hand it. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

The reference count of a freshly-constructed string instance? it's one. iconic. and you can bump it up or bring it down with tickit_string_ref(3) and tickit_string_unref(3). the way that when its reference count hits zero it gets destroyed 💀 — yeah, that's the lifecycle, no cap.

not me reminding you that this is a counted string, so like… mind the count bestie 🙈

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

If it all goes well, tickit_string_new() returns a pointer to the new instance. slay 👑
