💖 EC_NODE(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libecoli programmer's manual ✨ this one's called ec_node, and it's giving main character constructor energy. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ec_node — make a brand new node, using nothing but its type name. slay 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/node.h>

struct ec_node * ec_node(
    const char   *typename,  /* The type name of the node to create. */
    const char   *id         /* The node identifier. */
);

like, yes, that's the whole thing. two strings and a dream 💭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — you call this function from user code, specifically for node types that don't ship their own special constructor. no custom builder? no problem. ec_node has you covered, bestie 🎀

it's the generic plug-and-play way to spin up a node. literally just hand it a type name and an id and it does the thing ✨

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

  • on success? you get the new node 🥳 iconic, we love that for you
  • on error? you get NULL 😭 and honestly, vibe check failed, go check your typename
