EC_NODE_UINT_GETVAL(3)

✨ EC_NODE_UINT_GETVAL ✨

okay bestie, welcome to Libecoli Programmer's Manual</b>, section 3 💖 this one is about ec_node_uint_getval and it's literally so simple you'll be obsessed.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ec_node_uint_getval — get the value of a parsed unsigned integer, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <ecoli/node_int.h>

then here's the whole function, look at her:

int ec_node_uint_getval(
    const struct ec_node   *node,    /* The unsigned integer node. */
    const char             *str,     /* The string to parse. */
    /*
     * Pointer where the result will be stored on success.
     */
    uint64_t               *result
);

so like, quick vibe check on the parameters 🦋:

• node — the unsigned integer node. const, obviously, she's not getting modified, she's just here to be looked at 💅
• str — the string to parse. the raw text you're feeding in 🍓
• result — a pointer where the result will be stored on success. so if it works, this is where the parsed value lands. if it doesn't work... it does not land, bestie 🙈

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

• 0 on success — ate, no notes, we love to see it ✨
• -1 on error, and errno is set so you can go find out what went wrong 💀

not me being dramatic but seriously, check errno if you get -1, that's the whole point of it being set, iykyk 👑
