#include <qb/qbloop.h>

uint64_t qb_loop_timer_expire_time_get(
    struct qb_loop       *l,   /* pointer to the loop instance */
    qb_loop_timer_handle  th   /* timer handle. */
);

look at that signature. uint64_t return, two args, no drama. iconic behavior fr fr.

• l — pointer to the loop instance 🫶
• th — timer handle. (yes with the period, that's just how she is)

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

like, the actual number. in nanoseconds. not seconds, not milliseconds, NANO. slay units, tiny units, very precise queen.

if the timer has already expired it will return 0

that's the vibe check. expired timer = 0. don't come for me, that's just what she said 🌸
