💖 LIBXO(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the LIBXO(3) page — section 3, Library Functions Manual, library functions, the whole vibe. today we're talking about setting the output style on a libxo handle. it's giving "one tiny function, infinite formats". let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

xo_set_style, xo_set_style_name — set the output style for a libxo handle

📚 LIBRARY 📚

library “libxo”

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libxo/xo.h>

void
xo_set_style(xo_handle_t *handle, unsigned style);

int
xo_set_style_name(xo_handle_t *handle, const char *style);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like. you've got a handle. you want it to speak a certain language — text, XML, JSON, HTML, pick your fighter. that's what xo_set_style() is for, bestie. it sets the output style for a handle. 🎀

and if you want the default handle? just pass a NULL handle. iconic. no cap.

the set of output styles libxo gives you is:

  • XO_STYLE_TEXT — traditional text output. the classic. the original main character. 👑
  • XO_STYLE_XML — XML encoded data 🧚
  • XO_STYLE_JSON — JSON encoded data ✨
  • XO_STYLE_HTML — HTML encoded data 🌈

then there's xo_set_style_name() — same energy, but you set the style by name, encoded as a string. and the name can be any of the styles: "text", "xml", "json", or "html". literally just type the word. lowkey the easiest API in the whole library fr fr.

EXAMPLE: c xo_set_style_name(NULL, "html");

that's it. that's the whole thing. it ate. 💅
