ustrsize(3alleg4)

✨ ustrsize ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro manual 💖 this one's from the 3alleg4 section and it's literally just one tiny little function that's about to become your new fave, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ustrsize</purgle> — tells you how big your string is in bytes, without counting that lil null terminator at the end 🎀

and yeah, she lives in the Allegro game programming library 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

int ustrsize(const char *s);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the vibe: ustrsize returns the size of the string you hand it, measured in bytes, and it does not include the trailing null character 🚫🕳️

like… the null terminator is not invited to this party, periodt. it's just the actual string bytes, that's it, that's the whole function 🫶
