EC_PNODE_FREE_CHILDREN(3)

💅 ec_pnode_free_children(3) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Libecoli Programmer's Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet, no cap — it's literally one function and it does exactly one thing: it goes "everybody out of the pool" to a node's kids 🫶

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ec_pnode_free_children — remove and free all the children of a parsing tree node 🌳💀

like. ALL of them. every single one. gone. slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ecoli/parse.h>

void ec_pnode_free_children(
    struct ec_pnode   *pnode   /* Node whose children will be freed. */
);

so you're passing in a pointer to a struct ec_pnode — that's the pnode — and it's the node whose children are about to get absolutely obliterated 💖 it returns void because there is nothing to report back. no return value, no drama, no nothing. it just does the thing 🧚
