# Zig 0.16 for Native SDK code

Your build broke on a std API that moved - here is the current shape

## What this does

Your build fails with an error saying some part of the standard library has no member you were sure existed. That usually means the code was written for an older Zig. This is indexed by the exact error text, so you can look up the failing line and see how the current version writes it.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Fix a zig build error about a missing std member
- Update code written for an older Zig to current idioms
- Look up how this SDK writes file IO, allocators or process spawning

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Zig 0.16 for Native SDK code

This collects Zig 0.16 idioms for Native SDK code, indexed by the compile error you actually see. Errors about fs having no member cwd, ArrayList having no init, std having no io, a missing GeneralPurposeAllocator or getEnvMap, or an invalid format string are all signatures of code written for Zig 0.15 or earlier.

The coverage follows where those breaks land: main with std.process.Init, std.Io file IO and writers, ArrayList, process spawning, environment, clocks and sleep, sockets, custom formatting, and build.zig module shapes - each written the way this SDK writes it.
