vf_create_object(3)

💖 vf_create_object — Library Functions Manual, bestie 💖

okay so real quick, this is a page from the Library Functions Manual (vf_create_object(3), section 3, iykyk) and it's about making a brand new object from absolutely nothing. iconic behaviour honestly.

---

✨ NAME ✨

vf_create_object — literally vf_create_object(), that's it, that's the name 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <../vformat/vf_iface.h>

extern VF_OBJECT_T *vf_create_object
(
     const char *p_type,
     VF_OBJECT_T *p_parent
);

so you pull in that header, call the thing, hand it a type and maybe a parent, and boom 💅

---

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

• const char *p_type — the type of object you wanna create. yeah. that's the one 🫶
• VF_OBJECT_T *p_parent — the parent object, if there even is one. no parent? no problem, it's optional vibes.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

It creates an empty vformat object. that's the whole thing. brand new, empty, zero notes, main character energy, ready for you to fill it up however you want ✨

---

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

A pointer to the object if it got created, otherwise NULL. so like. check it, bestie. don't be out here dereferencing NULL 😭
