EC_NODE_TYPE(3)

💖 EC_NODE_TYPE — ok so like, what even IS this node bestie 💖

Hey hi hello, welcome to ec_node_type(3) from the Libecoli Programmer's Manual — yes that's the manual, and yes we're reading a manpage together, this is our bonding moment 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ec_node_type — get the type of a node. That's it. That's the whole job. She's a one-trick pony and she's SERVING 🐴💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/node.h>

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

So you pass in a const struct ec_node * — that's your grammar node, the one you're curious about — and you get back a pointer to a const struct ec_node_type. Simple. Elegant. Iconic. ✨

---

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

The type structure of this node. That's the tea ☕ — hand it a node, it hands you back the type struct. No cap, that's literally the entire return value, no error codes, no surprises, no drama. 👑
