NNG_STAT_CHILD(3)

💖 NAME 💖

nng_stat_child — bestie, this is the one that hands you the child statistic 👶✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <nng/nng.h>

typedef struct nng_stat nng_stat;

nng_stat *nng_stat_child(nng_stat *parent);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so listen. nng_stat_child() gives you the first child statistic of the statistic parent. That's it, that's the whole job. 🫶

And if parent has no children at all? Then you get NULL. Not a vibe, but it is what it is. 😭

Tip 💡 Only stats whose type (peep nng_stat_type()) is NNG_STAT_SCOPE are gonna have children, bestie. So if you're out here calling this on something else and getting NULL, that's why — iykyk. 👑

---

🎀 RETURN VALUES 🎀

• The first child statistic of parent 💅
• ...or NULL if parent literally has no children, periodt.

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

None. Zero. Nada. Not a single error out here, she's flawless fr fr. ✨
