EC_NODE_G...REN_COUNT(3)

💖 NAME 💖

ec_node_get_children_count — okay so this is a lil function from the Libecoli Programmer's Manual, section 3, and it does exactly one thing: it hands you back the number of children a node has. Return the number of children for a node. That's the whole vibe. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Like, here's how you call her:

#include <ecoli/node.h>

size_t ec_node_get_children_count(
    const struct ec_node   *node   /* The grammar node. */
);

See that const struct ec_node *node up in there? That's the grammar node, bestie. It's the thing you're asking about. 🫶

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

The number of children. periodt. That's the return value, that's the whole sentence, and honestly? Iconic of her to be that clear. The type is size_t, so it's a nice non-negative count — no weird negative-number jumpscare. 💅
