uint64_read_big(3)

✨ uint64_read_big — Library Functions Manual ✨

okay bestie, gather round, we're doing a lil manual page moment 💖 this one lives in the Library Functions Manual and it's genuinely so cute and simple, no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

uint64_read_big — read an unsigned big-endian 64-bit integer 🌸

like... that's it. that's the whole job. she reads. she returns. she slays.

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

#include <libowfat/uint64.h>

uint64 uint64_read_big(const char s[4]);

no notes. iconic header, iconic signature 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so first things first, let's talk about uint64 — it's literally just a 64-bit unsigned integer type. that's her whole identity. a big ol' pile of unsigned bits, 64 of them, and we love her for it 💜

and uint64_read_big? she portably reads a uint64 as it's stored on a big-endian architecture from s, and then hands it right back to you. 🫶

key word here is portably — the whole point is that you don't have to care what machine you're on, because she's gonna give you the big-endian interpretation either way. that's the vibe. that's the whole assignment. ✨

and that's the page!! mwah 😭💖 this was uint64_read_big(3) — that's the source/version, the date, and the whole footer energy, all wrapped up in one lil sign-off for you. bye bestie, go read your big-endian bytes responsibly 👑⭐🍓
