✨ NAME ✨

msymbol_get_func -

ok so the NAME section is giving absolutely nothing today 💀 — it's just the function name and a lil dash, no one-line summary attached. That's not me being lazy, that's genuinely the whole thing. We move on. Slay. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

M17NFunc msymbol_get_func (MSymbol symbol, MSymbol key)

that's it. that's the whole signature. two args, one return, main character energy only. ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

ok so the vibe here: you're grabbing the value of a symbol property, and that value is a function pointer 🔥.

msymbol_get_func() is lowkey the sibling of msymbol_get() — like, same energy, same idea — except instead of getting a regular property off your symbol, it's specifically for getting a function pointer form of the property belonging to the symbol symbol, looked up by key. 👑

so if you've ever used msymbol_get() and thought "bestie this is perfect but I need it to hand me a function pointer", that's literally the entire reason this function exists. no cap. 🫶
