qtimer_create(3)

💖 qtimer_create(3) 💖

okay bestie, so we're in the libqthread manual, section 3, and today's main character is qtimer_create — she's the one who allocates a qtimer for you. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

qtimer_create — allocate a qtimer 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <qthread/qtimer.h>

qtimer_t
qtimer_create (void);

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. no args, no drama, just vibes and a void 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function initializes a qtimer_t object and gets it all prepped and pretty for taking high-resolution low-overhead timings (on supported platforms). 🕐✨

so basically: you call her, she hands you back a timer that's ready to do the thing. not me being obsessed with a function that literally just sets up a timer 😭 but like, timing code without overhead? that's giving main character energy fr fr.

heads up bestie: that "(on supported platforms)" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. the high-resolution low-overhead thing is a platform-dependent situation, so don't come for her if your weird little machine doesn't have it. 💀

🌈 RETURN VALUES 🌈

Returns an initialized qtimer_t object. that's the whole tea. you give her nothing, she gives you a shiny new timer. periodt. 👑
