QB_UTIL_ST..._SPLIT_GET(3)

💖 QB_UTIL_ST..._SPLIT_GET(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libqb Programmer's Manual (section 3, the library-call girlies) and it's all about qb_util_stopwatch_time_split_get ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qb_util_stopwatch_time_split_get — bestie this reads the time split (in us, micro seconds, tiny tiny units) from "receint" to "older". that's it, that's the whole job 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

first you gotta let it in, no gatekeeping:

#include <qb/qbutil.h>

and here's the signature, in all its glory:

uint64_t qb_util_stopwatch_time_split_get(
    qb_util_stopwatch_t   *sw,       /* the stopwatch */
    uint32_t               receint,  /* split */
    uint32_t               older     /* split */
);

---

🦋 PARAMS 🦋

• sw — the stopwatch 🫶 like, the actual stopwatch object you're asking about
• receint — split 🎀 (yes it's spelled receint, no we do not discuss it, that's just her name and we respect her)
• older — split 🌈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea: if older == receint then the cumulated split gets returned (counting from the stopwatch start, i.e. the whole thing from the top 🏁).

that's literally the entire description. short and iconic.

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• the split time in micro seconds 🔥 that's your answer, that's your moment
• 0 — if it's not a valid split 💀 so like, don't trust a zero here, it's giving "nope"
