QB_UTIL_STOPWATCH_STOP(3)

💖 QB_UTIL_STOPWATCH_STOP 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libqb Programmer's Manual — yes, the whole QB_UTIL_STOPWATCH_STOP(3) situation — and it's genuinely one of the most chill functions in the whole library. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

qb_util_stopwatch_stop — stop the stopwatch, babe. that's it. that's the function. ⏱️

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qb/qbutil.h>

void qb_util_stopwatch_stop(
    qb_util_stopwatch_t   *sw
);

like, she's a void. she takes one pointer. she does not return anything. no cap. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the tea is: this function just allows you to get the elapsed time. that's the whole job. 🫶

and the way that you can call this multiple times?? iconic behaviour honestly. call it once, call it five times, she does not care. ✨

BUT. do not call qb_util_stopwatch_start() unless you actually want to reset the stopwatch. like, that one wipes the slate. don't do it by accident and then act surprised. 😭

that's genuinely the entire description. she's simple. she's low maintenance. she's the moment. 👑
