uint64_unpack_big(3)

💖 uint64_unpack_big 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual, section 3, where we read big numbers off the wire and make them make sense. this page is literally about uint64_unpack_big and it's shorter than your attention span, so let's GO 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

uint64_unpack_big — read an unsigned big-endian 64-bit integer 💅

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

like, here's the whole vibe, copy it exactly bestie:

#include <libowfat/uint64.h>

uint64 u;

void uint64_unpack_big(const char s[4],uint64 *u);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so uint64 is a 64-bit unsigned integer type. that's it, that's the girl. a whole 64 bits of unsigned integer energy 👑

and uint64_unpack_big? she portably reads a uint64 as stored on a big-endian architecture — i.e. in network byte order — from s, and writes it into u in the native byte order. no cap. it just does the byte-order translation for you so you don't have to think about it, which is honestly so iconic of her ✨

lowkey the entire point: s comes in big-endian, u comes out native. that's the glow-up. 💫
