VF_SET_PROPERTY_FROM_FILE(3)

📦 version 1.13, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

💖 NAME 💖

vf_set_property_from_file — bestie, this one literally just does vf_set_property_from_file(). That's the whole name. It's giving "the function is the function." ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

extern bool_t vf_set_property_from_file
(
     VF_PROP_T *p_prop,
     vf_encoding_t encoding,
     const char *p_filename
);

okay so yes, the include is literally <../vformat/vf_iface.h> — with the ../ and everything, don't @ me, that's just how it is. Copy it exactly, bestie. 🎀

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

  • VF_PROP_T *p_prop — the property. The actual thing we're about to fill up with file contents. 👑
  • vf_encoding_t encoding — the encoding to use. You gotta tell it which encoding, no skipping this one. 🌈
  • const char *p_filename — the source filename. The file we're reading from, periodt. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea: this function loads the indicated file into memory and then sets the indicated property with it. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Load file → set property. Two steps, zero drama. 🫶

Lowkey the most straightforward little function in this whole library and honestly? We love her for that. 💜

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

Returns TRUE iff it succeeded, and FALSE otherwise. So like, check your return value, bestie, don't just assume it worked. 😭
