✨ mtext_ref_char ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the m17n Library manual page for mtext_ref_char 💖 this one's from the 3m17n section, and she's short, sweet, and honestly iconic. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mtext_ref_char — the little function that peeks at a character in an M-text 👀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mtext_ref_char (MText * mt, int pos)

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. two args, one int back 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what she does is: she returns the character sitting at the position you asked for inside an M-text, no cap.

mtext_ref_char() gives you back the character at pos in the M-text mt 🎀

but listen — if something goes wrong, if an error gets detected, she doesn't just ghost you. she returns -1 and drops an error code into the external variable merror_code. so you will know. she's not about the mystery 💀

---

😭 ERRORS 😭

when things go sideways, merror_code can be set to:

• MERROR_RANGE — the range said no 🙈 your pos was out of pocket.
