EC_NODE_TYPE_LOOKUP(3)

EC_NODE_TYPE_LOOKUP(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Libecoli Programmer's Manual — this one's a lil cutie, a lookup function, and honestly? she's giving ✨directory service✨

---

NAME 🎀

ec_node_type_lookup — lookup a node type by name. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

---

SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/node.h>

const struct ec_node_type * ec_node_type_lookup(
    const char   *name   /* The name of the node type to search. */
);

so you hand her a name — the name of the node type you're searching for — and she goes and finds it. iconic behaviour, no notes 🫶

---

RETURN VALUE 💜

she hands you back the node type you asked for — read-only bestie, do not try to mess with her, she is not yours to edit 💀 — or she returns NULL if something went wrong. yep, NULL on error. that's the whole vibe check: node type if found, NULL on error. periodt. ✨

ngl, check for that NULL fr fr — she's not gonna warn you twice 🙈
