EC_PNODE_GET_LAST_CHILD(3)

💖 EC_PNODE_GET_LAST_CHILD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Libecoli Programmer's Manual ✨ this is the page for ec_pnode_get_last_child, and it is exactly what it sounds like. no plot twist. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_pnode_get_last_child — get the last child of a node in the parsing tree.

like… the literal last one. the final boss of the children. the one at the end of the sibling lineup 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <ecoli/parse.h>

struct ec_pnode * ec_pnode_get_last_child(
    const struct ec_pnode   *pnode   /* A node in the parsing tree. */
);

so you roll up with a pnode — that's a node in the parsing tree, in case the comment wasn't giving — and it hands you back a struct ec_pnode *. iconic behaviour honestly 💅

---

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

you get the last child node, periodt. 🫶

or… NULL if it has no child. yeah. sometimes the vibe check comes back empty and there's just nothing there 😭 no children, no last child, no drama.

ngl, always check for that NULL before you go dereferencing, bestie. it's giving "safety first" 🌈
