READ_LINE_ARGB8888(9)

💅 READ_LINE_ARGB8888 — Kernel API Manual ✨

Okay so bestie, let me put you on to READ_LINE_ARGB8888 — it's literally the generic generator for ARGB8888 formats and it's giving main character energy in the kernel. 💖 The pixel type used is u8, so pixel_name[0]..pixel_name[n] are the n components of the pixel. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

READ_LINE_ARGB8888 (function_name , pixel_name , a , r , g , b );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• function_name — the function name to generate, periodt. You're literally naming the thing you're generating, iykyk.
• pixel_name — a temporary pixel to use in the a, r, g and b parameters. It's giving placeholder energy but make it iconic. ✨
• a — the alpha value, bestie. Transparency matters! 🫶
• r — the red value. Hot. 🔥
• g — the green value. Slay. 💚
• b — the blue value. Blueprint. 💙
