β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
bool al_ustr_appendf(ALLEGRO_USTR *us, const char *fmt, ...)
look at her. three args and a dream. π
π DESCRIPTION π
so what this function does is it appends formatted output to the string us β like, takes whatever you already had going on in there and just adds more to the end, no cap. π
fmt is a printf-style format string, so if you know how printf eats its arguments, you already know the vibe here. iykyk. π
now, about the "%s" and "%c" specifiers β those have β¨*lore*β¨, and the lore lives over in al_ustr_newf(3alleg5). go read that one, bestie, it's important. π
and the tea on return values: it returns true on success, and false on error. iconic behaviour honestly. no mystery, no drama, just booleans. π
fr fr: check that return value. false means something went sideways and you deserve to know about it. π¨
