qt_team_id(3)

💖 qt_team_id — bestie, let's find out which team you're on 💖

okay so this is qt_team_id(3), a lil page from the libqthread manual, section 3. if you're the kind of girl who needs to know exactly which team she's repping at any given moment, this one's for you, no cap 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

qt_team_id — returns the current team's unique ID number 🔥

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <qthread.h>

unsigned int
qt_team_id (void);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like. this function hands you back the unique identifier that's attached to the qthread team your currently executing qthread belongs to. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

and here's the tea on the numbers themselves: generally they're monotonically increasing, which is just fancy speak for "they go up, bestie, they only go up." but — and this is important — the value can wrap around once you've burned through UINT_MAX-1 teams. so if you're out here spawning teams like it's a group chat invite spree, eventually the counter circles back around. it's giving cyclical. it's giving clock at midnight. 🕛✨

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

• on success: you get back the identifying number of your thread's team. slay. 💖
• if you call this from outside the Qthreads library? you get QTHREAD_NON_TEAM_ID back. like, you're not even in the building, girl. 🙈
• and just so we're clear: the special value QTHREAD_NULL_TEAM_ID will never be returned. not ever. don't even worry about it. 🚫

okay periodt, that's the whole page. go read the friends it brought along, they're iconic too. 👑
