💖 ugetc(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ugetc — straight outta the Allegro manual (that's the Allegro game programming library, for the uninitiated 👑). she's a low level helper function for reading Unicode text data, and honestly? she's doing the most with the least. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro.h>

int ugetc(const char *s);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so, bestie, here's the tea ☕ — ugetc is a low level helper function for reading Unicode text data. that's the whole job description. she pulls one character out of your text, and she does it based on whatever encoding you've got going on right now. lowkey iconic.

like, for example:

int first_unicode_letter = ugetc(text_string);

see how that works? one call, one character, no drama. periodt. 💅

🌸 RETURN VALUE 🌸

she returns the character that s is pointing at, in the current encoding format. so whatever encoding vibe your program is currently serving, that's the one she reads with. 🫶
