✨ EC_CONFIG_STRING — bestie, let's make a string 💖

okay so you're in the Libecoli Programmer's Manual (yes the whole manual, hi, welcome, come sit with me 🫶) and you wanna build a config value that's literally just a string. that's it. that's the function. it's giving "small but mighty" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_config_string — create a string configuration value 💅

like. it makes a string. a config one. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ecoli/config.h>

struct ec_config * ec_config_string(
    /*
     * The string value to be set. The string is copied into the configuration
     * object.
     */
    const char   *string
);

ok so real talk about that string argument, because this part is important: it's the string value you wanna set, and the string gets copied into the configuration object 🫶. so you're not handing over your pointer for safekeeping, you're handing over a copy of what it points at. the config object does its own thing with it. periodt.

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

you get the configuration object back. iconic. 👑

but if things go sideways you get NULL on error — and bestie, errno is set, so go check it, don't just sit there staring at your NULL like 😭
