uint16_pack_big(3)

hey bestie 💖 welcome to the uint16_pack_big(3) page from the Library Functions Manual! no cap, this one is short and sweet, and it's giving "portable endianness, but make it fashion". let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

uint16_pack_big — write an unsigned big-endian 16-bit integer. that's the whole name, periodt 💅

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

okay so here's the exact vibe, copy it character for character:

#include <libowfat/uint16.h>

uint16 u;

void uint16_pack_big(char s[2],uint16 u);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so uint16 is a 16-bit unsigned integer type, and normally it's either unsigned int or unsigned long. iykyk, it depends on the platform, but that's the tea ☕.

and uint16_pack_big? it portably writes a uint16 u to s in big-endian (i.e. network) byte order. that's it, that's the whole job. lowkey iconic for anyone doing network stuff 🌐✨.

big-endian = network byte order, so your bytes are getting sent in the big-endian way, no cap. this function handles it portably for you 💖.

that's the whole uint16_pack_big(3) page, bestie! straight from the Library Functions Manual, section 3 — no version or date in sight, just pure portable endian energy. stay hydrated and may your byte order always be correct 💖🎀🦋
