VF_SET_PROP_VALUE_BASE64(3)

💖 vf_set_prop_value_base64 — bestie edition 💖

okay so. this is vf_set_prop_value_base64(3), a lil library function from vf_iface.h (the ../vformat/ one, iykyk). she's the base64-flavoured sibling of vf_set_prop_value, and she is here to drop binary data straight into a property. slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

extern bool_t vf_set_prop_value_base64
(
     VF_PROP_T *p_prop,
     const uint8_t *p_data,
     uint32_t length,
     bool_t copy
);

like yes, four args, and every single one of them matters. no skipping. 💅

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• VF_PROP_T *p_prop — the property we're setting a value in. that's the target, the moment, the main character. 👑
• const uint8_t *p_data — pointer to the binary data. raw bytes, no vibes filtered. 🧚
• uint32_t length — length of the binary data. she needs to know exactly how many bytes we're talking about, no guessing fr fr.
• bool_t copy — copy or keep pointer. this is the "do you want a whole new copy of this or are we just holding hands with the original pointer" question. 🙈

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Set the value of a property.

...and that's genuinely the whole description, bestie. iconic brevity. she sets the value of a property. base64-style. periodt.

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

TRUE <=> set successfully.

(that <=> is doing a lot of heavy lifting and it means what it always means: if and only if. so TRUE back = it worked, and anything else = it did not. vibe check accordingly. 💀)

ngl the whole squad is here, so if you ever need to parse, read, write, get, set, delete, or time-stamp a property, there's a friend for that. 🫶

and that's the page!! this one's from c2man vf_iface.h, dated 30 April 2003 — yes she's an elder but she still ate, and this manual page is vf_set_prop_value_base64(3). bye bestie, go set some values 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🌈⭐💜
