EC_NODE_ITER_GET_PARENT(3)

🌸 ec_node_iter_get_parent — from the Libecoli Programmer's Manual 💅

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're doing a little iterator family reunion today 🫶 this is the page for ec_node_iter_get_parent(3) and honestly? it's giving "who's your daddy" but make it a C library ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

ec_node_iter_get_parent — get the parent of an iterator node 💖

like, literally. that's the whole job. it finds the parent. iconic behavior, no notes.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <ecoli/node.h>

struct ec_node_iter * ec_node_iter_get_parent(
    struct ec_node_iter   *iter   /* The iterator node. */
);

so you're passing in a struct ec_node_iter * called iter — that's the iterator node, the lil guy whose parent you're trying to find 🌸 — and you get back a struct ec_node_iter *. that's it. that's the function. clean. minimal. we love a one-argument queen 👑

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

the parent of the iterator node, inside the iterator tree 🌳✨

and if iter is the root?? it returns NULL, because the root has no parent, it's the main character and it answers to nobody 💀👑
