✨ mconv_resolve_coding ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the m17n Library manual, section 3m17n β€” and it's literally the little function that figures out whether a symbol is actually a coding system or just, like, a name that could be one. lowkey iconic gatekeeping. πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

mconv_resolve_coding β€” no cap, that's the whole name, the original page didn't even give it a tagline and honestly? mysterious main character energy. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

MSymbol mconv_resolve_coding (MSymbol symbol)

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

Resolve coding system name. periodt.

The mconv_resolve_coding() function returns symbol if it represents a coding system. 🫢

Otherwise, it canonicalizes symbol as to a coding system name, and if the canonicalized name represents a coding system, it returns that. ✨

Otherwise β€” and this is the part where we all collectively gasp β€” it returns Mnil. 😭

not me explaining a three-branch function like it's a plot twist. it IS a plot twist though. πŸ“
