shishi_generalize_now(3)

✨ NAME ✨

shishi_generalize_now — bestie it's an API function, and it's giving "what time is it" but make it Kerberos 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

const char * shishi_generalize_now(Shishi * handle);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• Shishi * handle — okay so this is your Shishi handle, the one you got handed to you when you called shishi_init(). No handle, no vibe check, no service 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically what this icon does is take the current time — like, right now right now — and convert it into a KerberosTime string. That's it. That's the whole slay. ⭐

Heads up bestie, and this part is IMPORTANT: the returned string is not yours to deallocate. Do not call free() on it. The library owns it. You're just borrowing it. If you deallocate it, that's not main character energy, that's undefined-behaviour energy 💀

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

It returns a KerberosTime formatted string that corresponds to the current time. A whole little timestamp, freshly formatted, just for you ✨
