pack_iputw(3alleg4)

💖 pack_iputw — the "write a lil 16-bit word" girly 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual for pack_iputw, which lives in the 3alleg4 section of the manual. it's part of the Allegro game programming library, and it's literally the cutest tiny file-writing function you'll ever meet. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pack_iputw — it's giving pack_putc(), but for 16-bit words with Intel byte ordering. yes, this is the Allegro game programming library, and yes, we're being fancy about it. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

int pack_iputw(int c, PACKFILE *f);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the way that this works is: it's just like pack_putc, but instead of one lil byte it writes a 16-bit word to a file. 🫶

And how does it write that word, you ask? With Intel byte ordering, bestie. That means the least significant byte comes first — a.k.a. little-endian. iconic behavior fr fr. 🌈

ngl if you were expecting big-endian, this is not that. this function said little-endian and it meant it. 💀
