PLGFNAM(3plplot)

💅 PLGFNAM 💅

ok so this is a page from the PLplot API manual, bestie — welcome, you're gonna do great 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

plgfnam — get the output file name, that's the whole vibe 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plgfnam(fnam)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically this one gets the current output file name... if applicable. That "if applicable" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting ngl, so like, don't be shocked if there's no file name to grab 🙈

There's also a redacted form, and it is literally the same thing:

plgfnam(fnam)

And fun fact — this function is used in example 31 ✨ so if you wanna see it out in the wild, that's where she lives 👑

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• fnam (PLCHAR_NC_VECTOR(3plplot), output) — this gets returned as an ascii character string holding the file name 🎀 heads up: it needs a preallocated length of 80 characters or more, so don't skimp on the buffer, she needs her space fr fr 💅
