✨ mtext_ncat ✨

okay bestie, welcome to mtext_ncat(3m17n) from The m17n Library — yes it's a section 3 man page, yes we're gonna make it cute, no we are NOT skipping a single detail 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

mtext_ncat — literally just the name, the original leaves the description blank so I'm leaving it blank too, we respect the source material in this house 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

MText* mtext_ncat (MText * mt1, MText * mt2, int n)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the vibe here is: append a part of an M-text to another. iconic behavior, honestly.

The mtext_ncat() function appends the first n characters of M-text mt2 to the end of M-text mt1 while inheriting all the text properties. every single one. no crumbs left behind 💅

If the length of mt2 is less than n, all characters are copied. like, she'll take what she can get, she's not greedy 🎀

mt2 is not modified. she's just the donor, she stays exactly as she was. no cap 🧚

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

  • If the operation was successful, mtext_ncat() returns a pointer to the resulting M-text mt1. slay 🎉
  • If an error is detected, it returns NULL and assigns an error code to the global variable merror_code. 😭 not the merror_code jump scare

💀 ERRORS 💀

  • MERROR_RANGE
