🌸 xbc_node_find_subkey — Kernel API Manual energy ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is xbc_node_find_subkey. she's a little lookup function and honestly she eats 💅

✨ NAME ✨

xbc_node_find_subkey — find a subkey node which matches a given key 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct xbc_node * xbc_node_find_subkey (struct xbc_node *parent , const
       char *key );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • parent — an XBC node. yeah, just a node. she's the starting point 🫶
  • key — a key string. the thing you're hunting for 🔍

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what she does is: she searches for a key node under parent that matches key. literally that's the whole vibe ✨

and here's the cute part — the key can contain several words jointed with '.'. yes, jointed, that's the word, we're keeping it fr fr 🌈

plot twist: if parent is NULL, she doesn't just give up — she searches the node from the whole tree. main character energy, she expands her search radius 😌👑

and if no node is matched? she returns NULL. no match, no node, that's the rule 💀
