lis_wtime(3)

💖 lis_wtime(3) — the "how long did that take??" timer 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Lis Library Functions manual — yes, the whole squad of lis library functions — and this one is literally just a stopwatch. It's giving "not me checking my screen time but for code". ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

lis_wtime — measure the elapsed time ⏱️

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include "lis.h"

LIS_INT lis_wtime(LIS_INT* argc, char** argv[]);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Measure the elapsed time. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🍓 INPUT 🍓

None. Nothing. Zero. Nada. It takes no input, she's self-sufficient, main character energy fr fr. 💅

---

🌈 OUTPUT 🌈

The elapsed time in seconds from the given point is returned as the double precision number. So like, you get a number back, and that number is seconds, and it's a double precision number. Iconic. 👑

---

💜 EXIT STATUS 💜

Here's what you can get back, bestie:

• 0 — The process is normally terminated ✅
• unspecified — An error occurred 😭

---

🎀 NOTE 🎀

To measure the processing time, call lis_wtime to get the starting time, call it again to get the ending time, and calculate the difference. Two calls and a subtraction. That's the whole recipe, no cap. 🫶

Not me explaining this like it's rocket science when it's literally just... start, stop, subtract. But listen, knowing that is the whole point. iykyk. 💀
