πŸ’– mflt_dump_gstring β€” the m17n library's little glyph-printing bestie πŸ’–

okay so bestie, this one lives in the m17n manual (section 3, the library-functions section, iykyk) and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, huge glow-up." let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

mflt_dump_gstring β€” (no description in the original, bestie, she's mysterious like that πŸ’…)


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mflt_dump_gstring (MFLTGlyphString * gstring)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does she do? She dumps an MFLTGlyphString. That's the whole vibe. πŸ’€

The mflt_dump_gstring() function prints the glyph sequence gstring in a human readable way β€” like, actually legible, not a wall of cursed bytes β€” and it sends that output to stderr, or to whatever you told the environment variable MDEBUG_OUTPUT_FILE to be. So if you want your dump going somewhere else, that env var is your main character. πŸ‘‘

fr fr, that's the entire function. no flags, no return value, no drama. it just prints and dips. 😭
