EC_COMP_MERGE(3)

💖 EC_COMP_MERGE(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Libecoli Programmer's Manual, section 3, and today's main character is ec_comp_merge 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ec_comp_merge — merge the items chillin' inside from into to. that's it. that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/complete.h>

int ec_comp_merge(
    struct ec_comp   *to,    /* The destination completion list. */
    struct ec_comp   *from   /* The source completion list. */
);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, picture two completion lists. one is the destination (to), one is the source (from). this function scoops everything out of from and pours it into to, no cap 🎀

and then — and this is the part you gotta remember — the from comp struct gets freed. gone. released. it does NOT survive the merge. so do not go touching it afterwards, bestie, that's a one-way ticket to undefined behaviour town 😭🙈

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• 0 — slay, it worked, success 💖
• -1 — oof, error, and errno is set for you so you can go find out what went wrong 🔍
