mdebug_dump_mtext(3m17n)

💖 mdebug_dump_mtext — the m17n Library, section 3m17n 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is genuinely a little backstage-pass function and i need you to know about it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

mdebug_dump_mtext —

and yes, the one-liner is literally empty in the original, so we are keeping it empty, no cap. the name is the name. the vibes are the vibes. moving on 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

MText* mdebug_dump_mtext (MText * mt, int indent, int fullp)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like. this function dumps an M-text. that's it, that's the whole job, and it ate 💅

The mdebug_dump_mtext() function prints the M-text mt in a human readable way to stderr, or to whatever is specified by the environment variable MDEBUG_OUTPUT_FILE. yes, that's a real escape hatch — you can redirect the dump somewhere else if stderr isn't the vibe today 🫶

indent specifies how many columns to indent the lines but the first one. read that again, bestie: every line gets indented except the first one. the first line stays out there living its main character life at column zero 😭

If fullp is zero, this function prints only a character code sequence. Otherwise — so, when fullp is nonzero — it prints the internal byte sequence and text properties as well ✨ so like, fullp is the "give me EVERYTHING" switch. zero is the snack, nonzero is the whole meal 🔥

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

This function returns mt. that's it. it hands you back the exact same M-text you gave it. iconic behavior honestly, zero notes 💖
