EC_COMP_ITEM_GET_STR(3)

💖 EC_COMP_ITEM_GET_STR(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Libecoli Programmer's Manual ✨ you're literally about to learn one tiny little function and honestly? it's giving main character energy 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ec_comp_item_get_str — get the string value of a completion item 💅

like. that's it. that's the whole job. she gets the string. she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/complete.h>

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

so you gotta pull in <ecoli/complete.h> first, no cap, and then you hand her a pointer to a struct ec_comp_item — that's the completion item, the little baby you're asking about 🫶 — and she hands you back a const char *. slay.

---

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

the completion string of this item. that's the vibe. that's what you get back 🌈

ngl bestie, it's a const char * so like… look, don't go editing it, okay? it's const for a reason and the reason is respect 😤
