EC_STRVEC_LEN(3)

💖 EC_STRVEC_LEN — bestie, let's count some strings 💖

okay so this is a page from the Libecoli Programmer's Manual, and the star of the show is ec_strvec_len. if you're holding a string vector and you're like "how many lil strings are in this thing??" — this is literally the function for you. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ec_strvec_len — get the length of a string vector. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/strvec.h>

size_t ec_strvec_len(
    const struct ec_strvec   *strvec   /* The pointer to the string vector. */
);

so you pull in the header, and you hand her one thing: strvec, which is The pointer to the string vector. that's the pointer, bestie, the pointer to the string vector. she takes a const struct ec_strvec * because she's not about to mess with your data — she's just here to count, main character energy only 👑

---

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

she hands you back the length of the vector. and the return type is size_t, so it's a nice big unsigned number, no negativity allowed in this house 🙈
