uint64_unpack(3)

💖 uint64_unpack(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this page lives in the Library Functions Manual and it's all about one lil' function called uint64_unpack. sit with me, it's gonna be quick and cute 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

uint64_unpack — read an unsigned little-endian 64-bit integer 🧚

✨ SYNTAX ✨

first, the vibe setup — you gotta pull in the header:

#include <libowfat/uint64.h>

then you declare your variable, like so:

uint64 u;

and here's the function itself, exactly as it is, no notes:

void uint64_unpack(const char s[4],uint64 *u);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so uint64 is a 64-bit unsigned integer type. big girl numbers only, no negativity allowed 💅

and uint64_unpack? she portably reads a uint64 — as it would be stored on a little-endian architecture — from s, and writes it into u in the native byte order. so like, it takes the little-endian representation and hands you back the version your own machine actually speaks. translation service but make it bytes 🦋

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• uint64_unpack_big(3)

okay that's the whole page, you ate it 🫶 this was uint64_unpack(3) from the Library Functions Manual — go forth and unpack responsibly, mwah 💖✨🎀
