💅 pskc_get_key_data_counter — the libpskc glow-up

okay so bestie, this is a function from libpskc (yes, that libpskc, version 2.6.15, she's iconic) and her whole job is grabbing one tiny little number out of a key package. that's it. that's the vibe. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pskc_get_key_data_counter — literally just "API function", that's what the manpage says, that's what we're going with 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pskc.h>

uint64_t pskc_get_key_data_counter(pskc_key_t * key, int * present);

look at her. so clean. so uint64_t. slay 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pskc_key_t * key — a pskc_key_t handle, and you get it from pskc_get_keypackage(). that's your ticket in, no cap 🎟️
  • int * present — an output variable that tells you whether data was provided or not. it's the "did she actually show up" indicator, iykyk

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Get the PSKC KeyPackage Key Data Counter value ✨. This element contains the event counter for event-based OTP algorithms — so like, it's counting events for the OTP girlies 🧚

and here's the important bit, pay attention bestie: if present is non-NULL, it will be 0 if the Counter field is not present, or 1 if it was present. that's it. 0 or 1. she's a yes/no queen 👑

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

an integer holding the content. uint64_t in the synopsis, "an integer" in the returns — the manpage said what it said, we're not editing her 🫶

ngl this one's short and sweet — if you're passing present, always give her a real int to point at, mmkay? 🙈
