uint64_pack(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet uint64_pack — she writes an unsigned little-endian 64-bit integer. that's it, that's her whole thing, and she does it flawlessly. periodt 💅

✨ SYNTAX ✨

#include <libowfat/uint64.h>

uint64 u;

void uint64_pack(char s[4],uint64 u);

like, that's the whole call. include the header, declare your uint64 u;, and call her with a char buffer s and your value u. iconic behavior fr fr 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So first things first: uint64 is a 64-bit unsigned integer type. that's the type we're playing with here. it's giving very-many-bits energy. 👑

And uint64_pack? She portably writes a uint64 u to s in little-endian byte order. notice the word portably — that's lowkey the whole flex of this function. you hand her your u and your buffer s, and she lays those bytes down in little-endian order, no drama, no surprises. ✨

little-endian byte order, bestie. she said what she said and she meant it. 🫶

go read those too, they're her sisters and they also ate 💅

and that's the page!! this lil masterpiece lives in the Library Functions Manual, section 3, and she answers to uint64_pack(3) — forever and always 💜 bye bestie, go pack some integers 🦋⭐🎀
