62126212 Here, Zig is at least as convenient, if not more, than C. And, the type of "ptr"
6213 is {#syntax#}*u8{#endsyntax#} <em>not</em> {#syntax#}?*u8{#endsyntax#}. The {#syntax#}orelse{#endsyntax#} keyword
6213 is {#syntax#}[*]u8{#endsyntax#} <em>not</em> {#syntax#}?[*]u8{#endsyntax#}. The {#syntax#}orelse{#endsyntax#} keyword
62146214 unwrapped the optional type and therefore {#syntax#}ptr{#endsyntax#} is guaranteed to be non-null everywhere
62156215 it is used in the function.
