ldns(3)

💖 NAME 💖

ldns_str2period — bestie, it takes a ttl value (like 5d2h) and turns it into a long 🕐✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

uint32_t ldns_str2period(const char *nptr, const char **endptr);

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so ldns_str2period() converts a ttl value (like 5d2h) to a long. that's literally the whole vibe. it's giving "I speak fluent time-strings" 💅

• nptr — the start of the string, bestie. where the journey begins 🫶
• endptr — points to the last char in case of error. so if something goes wrong, this lil guy knows where it all fell apart 😭

and the return value? it returns the convert duration value 🔥 no cap.
