hl_format_as_binary(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, meet hl_format_as_binary — the hl_format_as_binary(9) helper from the Kernel API Manual, and she's here to format an integer as binary using the scratch buffer you supply. no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

char * hl_format_as_binary (char *buf , size_t buf_len , u32 n );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• buf — the buffer to use. your scratch space, bestie. 🎀
• buf_len — buffer capacity. how much room buf has. 📏
• n — number to format. the integer getting the binary glow-up. 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Returns pointer to buffer. that's the whole vibe: hand it your scratch buffer, and it hands you back a pointer to that buffer. iconic, lowkey. ✨
