💅 pskc_get_device_expirydate(3) — the libpskc glow-up

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libpskc manual, section 3, and it's literally just one tiny little function that fetches a date. lowkey iconic in its simplicity. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pskc_get_device_expirydate — the API function that gets you a device's expiry date, no cap

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pskc.h>

const struct tm * pskc_get_device_expirydate(pskc_key_t * key);

that's it. that's the whole thing. short and slay 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pskc_key_t * key — a pskc_key_t handle, and you get it from pskc_get_keypackage(). like, that's where it comes from, periodt. don't just invent one out of nowhere 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this one gets the PSKC KeyPackage DeviceInfo ExpiryDate. fancy name, simple job.

this element denotes the end date of a device — think the one printed on a payment card, used when issue numbers are not printed on cards. yep, that's the whole vibe check. it's giving "this card is valid until". 🫶

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

you get back a constant struct (which — important — must not be deallocated, so don't you dare free() it, bestie 😭) holding the content.

or NULL if it's not set. that's the whole returns section. no notes. 👑

that's the whole page, bestie!! ✨ this was the libpskc manual, version 2.6.15, pskc_get_device_expirydate(3), and honestly? a little legend. go get those expiry dates. 🎀💖
