🌸 NAME 🌸

usetc — low level helper function for writing Unicode text data. part of the Allegro game programming library. she's a helper, she's low level, she's doing her thing 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

int usetc(char *s, int c);

literally that's the whole vibe. two args, one int coming back at you 🌈

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so usetc is a low level helper function for writing Unicode text data. no cap, that's her whole job description.

what she does: she writes the character c to the address pointed to by s. that's it. that's the assignment. main character energy, minimal effort, maximum usefulness 🫶

like, you hand her a pointer and a character, she puts the character right there at that address. done. iconic ✨

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

she returns the number of bytes written, which is equal to the width of the character in the current encoding format. so like, depending on your encoding, a character might take up more or fewer bytes, and she'll tell you exactly how many she dropped in there 💖
