EC_STRVEC_VAL(3)

💖 EC_STRVEC_VAL(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the libecoli Programmer's Manual ✨ this one's a lil baby page but it's so useful, trust.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ec_strvec_val — grab one string element out of a vector, that's it, that's the whole job 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ecoli/strvec.h>

const char * ec_strvec_val(
    const struct ec_strvec   *strvec,  /* The pointer to the string vector. */
    size_t                    idx      /* The index of the string to get. */
);

like, you hand it a strvec and an idx and it hands you back the string, no drama 🫶

---

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

It gives you back the string that's chillin' at the index you asked for. iconic. 🌈

But if something's off? You get NULL. That happens when strvec is NULL, or when idx is invalid (like, not a real index, bestie 😭). So yeah — NULL means error, no cap.

lowkey always check for NULL before you go dereferencing, okay?? your future self will thank you 💀
