EC_PARSE(3)

💖 EC_PARSE(3) 💖

hey bestie!! welcome to the libecoli programmer's manual, page for ec_parse ✨ — yes that's the manual name, no I will not be boring about it. this is the one that takes your lil string and yeets it through a grammar tree. let's GO 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_parse — parse a string using a grammar tree. that's it. that's the whole job. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ecoli/parse.h>

struct ec_pnode * ec_parse(
    const struct ec_node   *node,  /* The grammar node. */
    const char             *str    /* The input string. */
);

look at her. she's so simple. she's so iconic. 👑

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so lowkey this is equivalent to calling ec_parse_strvec() on the same node, but with a string vector that contains only the argument string str. that's the whole vibe — one string in, one call, no extra steps. fr fr. 🌈

---

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

you get back a parsing tree ✨ … or NULL on error, in which case errno is set. (not me manifesting a parse tree 🙈 just check for NULL, bestie, please.)

💀 heads up: NULL means error. always check. no cap.
