bl_gff_set_gene_name(3)

LIBRARY
#include <biolibc/gff.h>
-lbiolibc -lxtend

SYNOPSIS

int     bl_gff_set_gene_name(bl_gff_t *bl_gff_ptr, char * new_gene_name)

ARGUMENTS
bl_gff_ptr      Pointer to the structure to set
new_gene_name   The new value for gene_name

DESCRIPTION
Mutator for gene_name member in a bl_gff_t structure. Use this function to set gene_name in a bl_gff_t variable from non-member functions. This function performs a direct assignment for scalar or pointer structure members. If gene_name is a pointer, data previously pointed to should generally be freed before calling this function to avoid memory leaks. Note that there is an equivalent macro (), which performs this function with no data verification or function call overhead. Use the macro version to maximize performance where the validity of new_gene_name is guaranteed by other means.

EXAMPLES
bl_gff_t        bl_gff;
char *          new_gene_name;
if ( bl_gff_set_gene_name(&bl_gff, new_gene_name) == BL_DATA_OK )
{
}
