uint16_pack(3)

💖 uint16_pack(3) — the little-endian glow-up 💖

okay bestie, welcome to uint16_pack(3), straight out of the Library Functions Manual. she's short, she's sweet, she writes bytes. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

uint16_pack — write an unsigned little-endian 16-bit integer 💅

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/uint16.h>

uint16 u;

void uint16_pack(char s[2],uint16 u);

like, that's the whole vibe. include the header, declare your uint16 u, and you're ready 🦋

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so uint16 is a 16-bit unsigned integer type, and normally it's either unsigned int or unsigned long. ngl, it's just vibing as whichever one your system feels like that day ✨

and then uint16_pack? she portably writes a uint16 u to s in little-endian byte order. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap, she just does it portably, every time, on every machine, and honestly? iconic 👑

lowkey important: it's little-endian specifically, so if you were expecting big-endian bestie, you're in the wrong function — go say hi to uint16_pack_big(3) instead 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• uint16_unpack(3) — the reverse queen, reads the bytes back out 💜
• uint16_pack_big(3) — same energy, opposite endianness 🧚

that's the whole page, fr fr. this was uint16_pack(3) from the Library Functions Manual — no date on this one, she's timeless like that ⭐ stay little-endian, stay slay, mwah 💖🌸🎀
