EC_NODE_EMPTY(3)

🌸 EC_NODE_EMPTY — bestie, it's the node that matches literally nothing 🫶

okay so picture this: you're out here in the Libecoli Programmer's Manual (that's manual section 3, the library calls section, iykyk) and you find this little icon. It's ec_node_empty, and its whole entire personality is matching an empty string vector. That's it. That's the job. And it does it always. 💅

No cap, it's giving "I have one (1) talent and I'm serving it flawlessly."

✨ NAME ✨

ec_node_empty — this node always matches an empty string vector. 🎀

Like, always. Not "sometimes", not "when it feels like it". Every single time. Ate.

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <ecoli/node_empty.h>

struct ec_node * ec_node_empty(
    const char   *id
);

so you pull in the header ecoli/node_empty.h, and then you call ec_node_empty() with one argument, and it hands you back a struct ec_node *. That's the whole vibe. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bestie, let me be so fr fr with you: this node is the chillest node in the whole ecosystem. It always matches an empty string vector. That's the entire description. There's no hidden lore, no secret options, no surprise twists. It shows up, it matches an empty string vector, it goes home. Main character energy but make it minimal. 💀

Take it from me — sometimes the simplest nodes are the ones you end up needing the most. Don't sleep on it. 👑

🧚 SYNOPSIS (the details, bestie) 🧚

okay so the one and only parameter:

• const char *id — the identifier you're giving this node. Yes queen, name your node. It's your node, you get to label it. 💜

and the return value:

• returns a struct ec_node * — a pointer to the freshly made node, ready to do its one (1) thing. 🦋

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

...okay so this section is literally just sitting here looking pretty. There's nothing listed under it. It's an empty SEE ALSO for an empty node and honestly? The thematic consistency is unmatched. 🌈 I have to respect it. Not a single cross-reference in sight — she said "I am the reference." 🙈

⚠️ heads up: nothing in this page is dangerous or deprecated or anything, don't worry. It's just a node. A tiny, empty, extremely competent node. 🍓
