PLSETOPT(3plplot)

✨ PLSETOPT ✨

ok so this is a PLplot API page, bestie — like, the 3plplot manual section specifically 💅 buckle up.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

plsetopt — set any command-line option. that's it. that's the whole vibe ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

PLINT plsetopt(opt, optarg)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: you're inside a program, right, and you need to set a command-line option internally — like from the code itself — before the program goes and calls plinit(3plplot). that's literally what this icon does 🫶

opt is the name of that command-line option, and optarg is the matching argument that goes with it. cute little pair, no cap 🎀

this function returns 0 on success. slay. ⭐

Redacted form: plsetopt(opt, optarg)

This function is used in example 14. go look at it, iykyk 👑

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• opt (PLCHAR_VECTOR(3plplot), input) — a lil ascii character string holding the command-line option. that's her 💜
• optarg (PLCHAR_VECTOR(3plplot), input) — another ascii character string, this one holding the argument of that command-line option. iconic duo fr fr 🌈
