✨ cc_string(3) — the Coin manual, section 3, bestie edition ✨

okay so picture this: you're out here in C, and you need a string that isn't gonna ghost you. that's cc_string. it's from the Coin manual, section 3, and it's genuinely iconic. let's get into it. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

cc_string — The cc_string type is a C ADT for ASCII string management.

like, it's a whole abstract data type for handling ASCII strings in C. no cap. 🦋

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <Inventor/C/base/string.h>

---

👑 Public Attributes 👑

here's what's inside the struct, bestie:

• char * pointer — a pointer, classic.
• size_t bufsize — how big the buffer is, in size_t units, obviously.
• char buffer [CC_STRING_MIN_SIZE] — the actual little starter buffer, sized at CC_STRING_MIN_SIZE.

💜 Detailed Description 💜

The cc_string type is a C ADT for ASCII string management.

This is a Coin extension. so if you're wondering "is this standard C?" — nope, it's a Coin thing, and we love that for it. 🫶
