LIBMAWK_SET_CELL(3libmawk)

💖 LIBMAWK_SET_CELL — the mawk cell glow-up manual 💖

okay bestie, you're reading the libmawk manual page for LIBMAWK_SET_CELL(3libmawk) and honestly? this one's a bop. it's short, it's sweet, and it lets you rewrite what a mawk variable holds. main character energy for real 💅

✨ NAME ✨

libmawk_set_cell — set the value of a mawk cell. that's it. that's the whole job. giving "makeover montage but for a variable" 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libmawk.h>

CELL *libmawk_set_cell(mawk_state_t *m, CELL *cell, const charargtype,...);
CELL *libmawk_set_cellp(mawk_state_t *m, CELL *cell, const charargtype,
void *argp);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the libmawk_set_cell() function modifies the value of a mawk cell (aka a variable, aka the little guy holding your data). the argument argtype is a format character that describes the type of the payload — and you get to that payload through the vararg. no cap. 🌈

the libmawk_set_cellp() function does the exact same thing, but it takes a generic pointer to the payload instead. same slay, different doorway 🚪✨

the format character is one of the followings, and yes it's literally just one letter each:

• 'd' — for int payload
• 'f' — for double payload
• 's' — for (zero terminated) char * payload

and argument m? that's a libmawk context, previously returned by libmawk_initialize() or libmawk_initialize_stage3(). don't just make one up out of thin air bestie, it has to come from there 🫶

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

a pointer to the cell modified. you get the cell back. it's giving "here's your variable, post-glow-up" 💖

• libmawk_initialize_stage(3libmawk)
• libmawk_initialize(3libmawk)
• libmawk_get_var(3libmawk)

lowkey the whole page in one vibe: you hand it a cell and a type letter, it hands you back the cell, and everybody eats. no cap. 💀✨

and that's the whole thing!! this was the libmawk manual, dated 2009-08-10, filed under LIBMAWK_SET_CELL(3libmawk). go set some cells, bestie, you got this 🧚💜
