✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <qb/qbutil.h>

int32_t qb_util_stopwatch_split_ctl(
    qb_util_stopwatch_t   *sw,          /* the stopwatch */
    uint32_t               max_splits,  /* maximum number of time splits */
    uint32_t               options      /* (0 or QB_UTIL_SW_OVERWRITE ) */
);

like, she takes a stopwatch, a max_splits, and some options, and she hands you back an int32_t. periodt. 💅
