💅 ecoli_node_sh_lex(3) — a Libecoli moment

okay bestie so this is a page from Libecoli, and it's all about ecoli_node_sh_lex — the shell lexer node. it's giving "tiny API, big personality" ngl 🐚✨

🌸 NAME

ecoli_node_sh_lex — Shell lexer node

• A lexer node using shell-like tokenization rules.

✨ SYNOPSIS

Functions 🫶

struct ec_node * ec_node_sh_lex (const char *id, struct ec_node *child)
struct ec_node * ec_node_sh_lex_expand (const char *id, struct ec_node
    *child)

🦋 Detailed Description

A lexer node using shell-like tokenization rules. literally that's the whole vibe 💅

🎀 Configuration Schema

No configuration schema. none. zero. empty. the config schema is not the main character here 🙈

👑 Function Documentation

🌟 struct ec_node* ec_node_sh_lex (const char * id, struct ec_node * child)

Create a shell lexer node. slay 💖

This node tokenizes the input using shell-like lexing rules (handling quotes, escapes, etc.) and passes the resulting tokens to the child node. it's literally the middleman of your dreams, no cap 🔥

Parameters

• id — The node identifier.
• child — The child node. It is consumed and will be freed when the parent is freed, or immediately on error.

⚠️ bestie listen: that child gets consumed. the parent owns it now. when the parent is freed, the child goes with it — or it gets freed immediately on error. no take-backsies 💀

Returns

The node, or NULL on error (errno is set). 😭

---

🌈 struct ec_node* ec_node_sh_lex_expand (const char * id, struct ec_node * child)

Create a shell lexer node with variable expansion. the upgrade era ✨👑

Same as ec_node_sh_lex() but with shell variable expansion enabled. so like, the same thing but it also does the variable thing. iykyk 🧚

Parameters

• id — The node identifier.
• child — The child node. It is consumed and will be freed when the parent is freed, or immediately on error.

🫶 same deal as above, fr fr — the child is consumed, freed with the parent or right away on error.

Returns

The node, or NULL on error (errno is set). 💀
