ldns(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to ldns(3) 💖 this is the page for the ldns library's duration stuff — we're talking ldns_duration_type, ldns_duration_create, ldns_duration_create_from_string, ldns_duration_cleanup, ldns_duration_compare, ldns_duration2string, and ldns_duration2time — the duration type and all its lil' related functions. it's giving time math, but make it cute 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

ldns_duration_type* ldns_duration_create(void);

ldns_duration_type* ldns_duration_create_from_string(const char* str);

void ldns_duration_cleanup(ldns_duration_type* duration);

int ldns_duration_compare(const ldns_duration_type* d1, const
ldns_duration_type* d2);

char* ldns_duration2string(const ldns_duration_type* duration);

time_t ldns_duration2time(const ldns_duration_type* duration);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

🦋 ldns_duration_type

it's a Duration, periodt. here's the whole struct, no notes:

struct ldns_duration_struct
{
    time_t years;
    time_t months;
    time_t weeks;
    time_t days;
    time_t hours;
    time_t minutes;
    time_t seconds;
};

typedef struct ldns_duration_struct ldns_duration_type;

🌈 the functions, one by one

⭐ ldns_duration_create()

creates a brand new 'instant' duration — like, zero time, freshly hatched, main character energy.

• returns ldns_duration_type* — the duration it just created

🍓 ldns_duration_create_from_string()

makes a duration out of a string, iykyk.

• str: string-format duration
• returns ldns_duration_type* — the duration it created

💜 ldns_duration_cleanup()

cleans up a duration. bye babe, thanks for the memories 🙈

• duration: duration to be cleaned up

🔥 ldns_duration_compare()

compares two durations, head to head, vibe check style.

• d1: one duration
• d2: another duration
• returns int — 0 if equal, -1 if d1 < d2, 1 if d2 < d1

✨ ldns_duration2string()

turns a duration into a string, slay.

• duration: duration to be converted
• returns char* — string-format duration

🎀 ldns_duration2time()

turns a duration into a time. no cap.

• duration: duration to be converted
• returns time_t — time-format duration

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one's from the ldns(3) manual, dated 30 May 2006 — vintage but still serving looks 💅 mwah, go write some duration code 🦋
