💖 AUPARSE_GET_TIME(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one is from the Linux Audit API — it's auparse_get_time, a lil member of the auparse family, and she's here to hand you a timestamp. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

auparse_get_time — get event's time 🕰️

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <auparse.h>

time_t auparse_get_time(const auparse_state_t *au);"

(yes the trailing " is really there in the original, i'm not gonna gaslight you 💅)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, auparse_get_time will access just the time portion of the timestamp data structure for the current event. that's it, that's the whole job — she's a specialist, not a generalist 👑

like, the timestamp data structure has more going on, but this function is only here for the time part. main character energy fr.

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

• Returns 0 if an error occurs 😭
• otherwise, the valid time value in time_t format 🫶

so basically: zero means something went wrong, anything else is your actual time. vibe check accordingly.
