💖 EC_COMP_I...T_CURRENT — okay bestie, let's get that current string 💖

So this is a page from the Libecoli Programmer's Manual, section 3, and it's about one tiny but iconic little function: ec_comp_item_get_current. It's giving "glow-up reveal of the string that existed before completion happened" ✨

✨ NAME ✨

ec_comp_item_get_current — get the current string value (before completion) of a completion item.

Like. The before picture. The pre-glow-up. The original text, no edits, no filter. 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ecoli/complete.h>

const char * ec_comp_item_get_current(
    const struct ec_comp_item   *item   /* The completion item. */
);

That's it. One argument, one pointer, zero drama. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Not gonna lie, this page is short and I respect that so much. Here's the whole vibe:

  • You hand it a completion item — a const struct ec_comp_item * — and it hands you back the current string of that item. That's the string value before completion, iykyk. 🫶
  • item is literally just described in the synopsis comment as "The completion item." So, yeah. It's the item. Pass the item. 🔥

No hidden flags, no environment variables, no side quests. Immaculate. Periodt.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

It returns the current string of this item. Just the string. That's the whole return value, no cap. 💜

Heads up bestie: it's declared as const char *, so don't go trying to write to it, okay? 🙈
