QB_LOOP_T..._REMAINING(3)

💖 QB_LOOP_T..._REMAINING 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libqb Programmer's Manual, and the function we're fangirling over is qb_loop_timer_expire_time_remaining. she's giving "how long till my timer goes off" energy and honestly? iconic. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

qb_loop_timer_expire_time_remaining — Get the time remaining before the timer expires.

like. she literally tells you how much time is left before your timer pops off. no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qb/qbloop.h>

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

so you pull in <qb/qbloop.h> and then you call her with a loop and a timer handle. that's it. she returns a uint64_t. slay. ✨

🫶 PARAMS 🫶

• l — pointer to the loop instance 💜 like, your actual loop, the main character of this whole operation.
• th — timer handle. the little ticket that says which timer we're talking about, bestie. 🎟️

🙈 DESCRIPTION 🙈

okay so real talk: this section is literally empty in the original. not a single word. no crumbs. 💀

the description is just… the vibes. the function name does the talking. she said "read the NAME section and the RETURN VALUE, I'm not explaining myself." and honestly? respect. 👑

---

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

nano seconds remaining until the timer expires — that's nanoseconds, plural, as a uint64_t. so you get the countdown in nanos. ticking. dramatic. ⏳🔥

---

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

if the timer has already expired it will return 0. 🫠

so yeah — no negative numbers, no "oops too late" error, just a big fat zero. if it already popped, the answer is zero. periodt.
