EC_NODE_DESC(3)

✨ EC_NODE_DESC(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ec_node_desc — part of the Libecoli Programmer's Manual 💖 this one's short and sweet and honestly? it's giving little helper that just tells you things 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_node_desc — Get node short description. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

#include <ecoli/node.h>

char * ec_node_desc(
    const struct ec_node   *node   /* The grammar node. */
);

so you're passing in node, which is the grammar node 👑 one arg, no drama, we love a low-maintenance function fr fr ✨

---

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

you get back an allocated string holding the node's short description — and heads up bestie, YOU have to free it 😭 it's yours now, it's your responsibility, the caller frees it, no cap. if something goes wrong you just get NULL back, and that's the error signal 💀

reminder: allocated string = must be freed by the caller. do not ghost it. it WILL leak. 🍓
