🌸 NAME 🌸

lsm_block_range_source_start_get — retrieves start block of the source.

like. that's it. that's the whole job. she gets the start block of the source and she goes home. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint64_t lsm_block_range_source_start_get (lsm_block_range *br);

one function, one argument, returns a uint64_t. no cap. 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• br — Block range to retrieve source start block number. bestie this is the block range you're pulling the source start block number from, okay? she's the plug. 🍓

---

🦋 VERSION 🦋

1.0 — yes she's been 1.0 this whole time and she's thriving, leave her alone 😭

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so real talk: this function retrieves the start block number of the replication source.

that's the vibe. the block range knows where the source starts, and this is how you ask her about it. main character energy for a getter, honestly. 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns a uint64_t. 💖

and — important, don't skip this — it returns 0 if the lsm_block_range pointer is invalid. so if you hand her a garbage pointer, she's not gonna yell at you, she's just gonna hand you a zero and move on. iconic behavior. 🙈

fr fr: check your pointer before you get emotionally attached to that return value. 0 is also a legit-looking number so like… be careful. 💀

and that's the whole page!! no SEE ALSO, no ENVIRONMENT, no surprises, just a tiny queen doing a tiny job. 🧚

mwah — this was pulled from the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual, and the footer on the original was dated February 2026 with that funny squished source line lsm_block_range_source_start_gelsm_block...start_get(3) — the header and footer literally collided mid-word, which is a whole mood honestly. 💀✨ anyway bestie go forth and get those source start blocks, ily, bye!! 💜🌸
