💖 EC_CONFIG_SCHEMA_LOOKUP(3) 💖

Libecoli Programmer's Manual ✨ (yes bestie, we're in the programmer's manual, get comfy)

✨ NAME ✨

ec_config_schema_lookup — find a schema entry that matches the key 🔍

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so first you gotta include the header, no cap:

#include <ecoli/config.h>

then boom, here's the function:

const struct ec_config_schema * ec_config_schema_lookup(
    /*
     * Pointer to the first element of the schema array. The array must be
     * terminated by a sentinel entry {.type == EC_CONFIG_TYPE_NONE}.
     */
    const struct ec_config_schema   *schema,
    const char                      *key      /* Schema key name. */
);

lowkey important: that first arg is a pointer to the first element of the schema array, and the array must be terminated by a sentinel entry {.type == EC_CONFIG_TYPE_NONE}. don't forget the sentinel or it's giving chaos 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically 💁♀️ this one browses the schema array and looks up the given key. That's it. That's the whole job. It's the search bar of your config schema, fr fr. ✨

🎀 STRUCTURES 🎀

struct ec_config_schema

This structure is the moment. 💅 It describes the format of a configuration value.

Here's the vibe: this structure is used in a const array which is referenced by a struct ec_config. Each entry of the array represents a key/value storage of the configuration dictionary. iconic.

struct ec_config_schema {
    enum   flags;
};

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

• If it matches a key, you get the schema entry back 🫶
• If not found, you get NULL 😭 (not found era, we've all been there)
