EC_COMPLETE_CHILD(3)

💖 EC_COMPLETE_CHILD(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Libecoli Programmer's Manual — this one's the page for ec_complete_child, and honestly? it's a team-player icon. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_complete_child — get the list of completions of a child node. 🧚

like, literally, that's the whole job. it goes and collects the completions from the children for you. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ecoli/complete.h>

int ec_complete_child(
    const struct ec_node     *node,    /* The grammar graph. */
    struct ec_comp           *comp,    /* The current completion list to be filled. */
    const struct ec_strvec   *strvec   /* The input string vector. */
);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: this function is for intermediate ecoli nodes, meaning the nodes that have children — think ec_node_seq(), ec_node_or(), and the rest of the girlies that aren't leaf nodes. 🌳

what it does is fill an existing ec_comp structure, which gets passed in by the parent node. it's giving "the parent sent me to go handle this" energy and honestly? it ate. 💅

💀 not me about to say this again: comp is already there. you're not creating it, you're filling it. the parent node handed it over. periodt.

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

• 0 on success 🎀
• -1 on error, and errno is set when that happens 😭
