💖 ec_comp_item_set_completion — bestie edition 💖

okay so this page lives in the Libecoli Programmer's Manual, section 3, and it's literally about one thing: setting the completion value of an item. that's it. that's the whole vibe. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ec_comp_item_set_completion — Set the completion value of an item.

like. the name tells you everything. no cap. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/complete.h>

int ec_comp_item_set_completion(
    struct ec_comp_item   *item,        /* The completion item to update. */
    const char            *completion   /* The new completion string. */
);

so you roll up with a struct ec_comp_item * — that's the item you're updating, bestie — and a const char * holding your brand new completion string. two args, zero drama. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. the completion string is the thing that actually gets added to the incomplete token to complete it. it's the glow-up your half-typed word has been waiting for. ✨

and here's the tea: some nodes — sh_lex being the main character here — will modify that completion string in the items generated by their children. why? for stuff like adding a terminating quote. yeah. it's giving "I raised you and now I'm doing your hair before you go out." 💇‍♀️

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

  • 0 — success!! slay!! everything ate, nothing left on the plate 🍽️✨
  • -1 — error 😭 and ngl errno gets set, so go read it, it's telling you what went wrong fr fr
