EC_STRVEC(3)

💖 EC_STRVEC(3) — the Libecoli Programmer's Manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libecoli programmer's manual, and today's main character is ec_strvec. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ec_strvec — allocate a brand new empty string vector. that's it. that's the whole job. she's born empty, she's ready to be filled with strings, and she's slaying from the very first byte. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/strvec.h>

struct ec_strvec * ec_strvec(
    void
);

so like. you include the header, you call the function, you take no arguments (void, she needs nothing from you, she's independent 💅), and she hands you back a pointer to a struct ec_strvec. iconic behaviour honestly.

---

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

she returns the new strvec object — your fresh little baby 💖 — OR NULL on error, in which case errno is set, so go check it, bestie. 😭

fr fr, if you get NULL back, do NOT just start dereferencing it. check errno, handle your business, protect your peace. 🙈
