💅 NAME

ec_editline_get_el — returns the wrapped editline instance that's attached to the ec_editline structure. that's it. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's iconic, she's giving "one line of code, zero drama" 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS

#include <ecoli/editline.h>

struct editline * ec_editline_get_el(
    struct ec_editline   *editline   /* The pointer to the ec_editline structure. */
);

so you pull in <ecoli/editline.h>, you hand her a pointer to your ec_editline structure, and she hands you back a struct editline *. the wrapped one. the one hiding inside. the main character behind the curtain 🦋
