EC_HTABLE_ITER_GET_VAL(3)

💖 EC_HTABLE_ITER_GET_VAL 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the Libecoli Programmer's Manual, and it's about ec_htable_iter_get_val(3) — the little function that hands you the value sitting at wherever your hash table iterator is currently pointing. that's it. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's reliable, she's iconic. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

ec_htable_iter_get_val — grab the value of the element you're currently looking at 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/htable.h>

void * ec_htable_iter_get_val(
    const struct ec_htable_elt_ref   *iter   /* The hash table iterator. */
);

so you pass in iter — that's the hash table iterator, the little pointer that knows where you are in the table — and she gives you back the value. no drama, no side quests. 💅

---

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

you get back the current element value, fr fr. but — and this is the part where you gotta pay attention — if the iterator is pointing at an invalid element, you get NULL back instead. so like, vibe check your iterator before you trust what it hands you. 😭

no cap: NULL here means "this iterator is not on a valid element", not "the value happens to be NULL-ish and everything is fine". read the room bestie.
