# [NAME](#NAME)

unibi\_num\_from\_var, unibi\_str\_from\_var, unibi\_var\_from\_num, unibi\_var\_from\_str - create and inspect unibi\_var\_t values

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

```
 #include <unibilium.h>
 int         unibi_num_from_var(unibi_var_t v);
 const char *unibi_str_from_var(unibi_var_t v);
 unibi_var_t unibi_var_from_num(int i);
 unibi_var_t unibi_var_from_str(char *s);
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

"unibi\_var\_from\_num" and "unibi\_var\_from\_str" wrap the given int or string in a "unibi\_var\_t" object for use in [**unibi\_format**(3)](/man/os/unibilium/unibi_format.3) and [**unibi\_run**(3)](/man/os/unibilium/unibi_run.3).

unibi\_num\_from\_var(v) returns the number stored in *v*, which must have been constructed by "unibi\_var\_from\_num". unibi\_str\_from\_var(v) returns the string stored in *v*, which must have been constructed by "unibi\_var\_from\_str".

It is an error to pass a wrapped string to "unibi\_num\_from\_var" or a wrapped number to "unibi\_str\_from\_var".
