💖 NAME 💖

ok so bestie, meet shishi_authenticator — it's an API function, and it's literally here to hand you a fresh new Authenticator. that's the whole gig. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <shishi.h>

Shishi_asn1 shishi_authenticator(Shishi * handle);

like, that's it. one function, one argument, one dream. 🦋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — your shishi handle, bestie. and not just any handle — it's the one you got from shishi_init(). if you didn't init, we can't talk. it's giving prerequisites. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea: this function creates a brand new Authenticator, and it comes pre-populated with some default values so you don't have to do it yourself. main character service, honestly.

and the way it fills in the time?? it uses the current time as returned by the system, and it drops that into both the ctime and the cusec fields. no cap. it just grabs the clock and goes. ⏰✨

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

you get the authenticator back. iconic. 💖

but if things go sideways, you get NULL on failure. 😭 that's the vibe check, fr fr.

💀 REPORTING BUGS 💀

found a bug? not me manifesting problems, but okay, if you did — report it to <bug-shishi@gnu.org>. 🫶
