EC_COMPLETE_STRVEC_EXPAND(3)

✨ NAME ✨

ec_complete_strvec_expand — bestie, this one hands you a brand new string vector, built off the one you gave it, using completion to stretch out all the non-ambiguous tokens into their full value. it's giving glow-up for your tokens 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ecoli/complete.h>

struct ec_strvec * ec_complete_strvec_expand(
    const struct ec_node     *node,    /* The grammar graph. */
    enum ec_comp_type         type,    /* Completion item type to consider. */
    const struct ec_strvec   *strvec   /* The input string vector. */
);

like yes she takes three args, and the comments are literally right there telling you what each one is, no gatekeeping here 🫶

• node — the grammar graph, aka the whole vibe map 🌈
• type — the completion item type you want to consider
• strvec — the input string vector, the raw material ✨

🎀 STRUCTURES 🎀

okay so the enum, and the semicolons are exactly how they ship, don't come for me, I'm just the messenger:

enum ec_comp_type {
      EC_COMP_UNKNOWN;
      EC_COMP_FULL;
      EC_COMP_PARTIAL;
      EC_COMP_ALL;
};

four little icons, four little moods, EC_COMP_UNKNOWN, EC_COMP_FULL, EC_COMP_PARTIAL, EC_COMP_ALL — and type up in the synopsis is picking which one of them you're rolling with 💖

---

🌸 RETURN VALUE 🌸

you get back a new string vector, with all the non-ambiguous tokens expanded. periodt. 👑

and if something goes wrong? you get NULL, and errno is set. so check it, bestie, don't just vibe and assume 😭

ngl, NULL is the "it's not giving" outcome here. always check errno when you see it.
