msymbol_exist(3m17n)

🌸 NAME 🌸

msymbol_exist — and that's it, bestie, that's the whole description 💀 the original page literally just leaves the dash hanging there like a read receipt with no reply. It lives in the m17n Library manual, section 3m17n, so at least we know where it's from 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

MSymbol msymbol_exist (const char * name)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the brief on this one is: search for a symbol that has a specified name. That's the whole vibe 🦋

The msymbol_exist() function goes looking for the symbol whose name is name. That's the mission. That's the whole plot. It finds it or it doesn't 🎀

🌟 Return value

If a symbol with that name actually exists, msymbol_exist() hands it right back to you, no drama 💅 If it doesn't exist? You get the predefined symbol #Mnil instead. Not a crash, not an error, just #Mnil — the polite little "nope, never heard of her" of the m17n world 🙈

🌈 Errors

Not a single one. This function never fails. Zero. None. It simply cannot flop. Main character energy fr fr 👑
