💖 WAFFLE_ENUM 💖

okay bestie, welcome to waffle_enum(3) — that's the third section of the Waffle Manual, and yes we are reading a manpage together like it's a group chat, because it lowkey is one. this page is all about the little utilities that help you deal with waffle's enum tokens. short page, iconic energy, let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

waffle_enum, waffle_enum_to_string — utilities for waffle enums

like. that's the whole vibe. helper functions. for enums. slay.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <waffle.h>

enum waffle_enum {...};

const char* waffle_enum_to_string(int32_t e);

so you pull in <waffle.h>, you've got some mysterious enum waffle_enum {...}; situation going on (the ... is literally in the source, don't come for me), and then the star of the show: waffle_enum_to_string(), which takes an int32_t e and hands you back a const char*. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💅 waffle_enum_to_string()

okay so this one takes a waffle_enum token and turns it into a string. like. literally that's it. for example, it converts WAFFLE_DONT_CARE into "WAFFLE_DONT_CARE". which is giving "the function is just doing the obvious thing and doing it perfectly." no cap.

and if the token is not a valid waffle_enum? it returns null. 💀 so yeah, check for that, bestie.

the way that this function always sets the error code to WAFFLE_NO_ERROR… obsessed. it's not out here throwing errors at you, it's just chilling.

and here's the truly iconic part: you can call it before waffle has been successfully initialized with waffle_init(3). so it works before the whole party even starts. main character energy fr fr. 👑
