mdebug_dump_symbol(3m17n)

✨ NAME ✨

mdebug_dump_symbol — no cap, that's literally the whole name section, bestie 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

MSymbol mdebug_dump_symbol (MSymbol symbol, int indent)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: you've got a symbol and you just wanna see it. that's the whole vibe of mdebug_dump_symbol(). it prints out the symbol you pass in as symbol, in a way that's actually human readable, and it sends all of that to stderr — or, plot twist, to whatever destination you told it about through the environment variable MDEBUG_OUTPUT_FILE. 👑

and indent? that one's in charge of how many columns the lines get indented by. but not the first line tho — the first one stays exactly where it is. every other line gets pushed over. it's giving little staircase energy 🪜✨

---

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

she gives you back symbol. that's it. that's the return. returning what you handed her, iconic behavior honestly 🫶

---

💀 ERRORS 💀

• MERROR_DEBUG — yeah, this is the one that shows up if things go sideways 🙈
