💖 shishi_generalize_time(3) — the shishi manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this one lives in the shishi manual section 3, and it's lowkey one of the most useful lil helpers in the whole Kerberos-adjacent universe. it's called shishi_generalize_time and yes, the name is a mouthful, but the vibe check passes. 🕰️✨

✨ NAME ✨

shishi_generalize_time — an API function, bestie. that's it, that's the whole name section. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

const char * shishi_generalize_time(Shishi * handle, time_t t);

look at that signature. clean. iconic. no notes. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • Shishi * handle — the Shishi handle, and you gotta get it the legit way, as allocated by shishi_init(). no bootleg handles, we don't do that here. 🫶
  • time_t t — a plain old C time, the kind you wanna convert. that's the whole assignment. ⏳

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it do, you ask? it converts the C time t into a KerberosTime string representation. like, glow-up for your timestamp. ✨

🚨 IMPORTANT, no cap: the returned string must not be deallocated by the caller. do NOT free() it. do NOT get cute with it. it's not yours, it's the library's. put your hands down. 🙈

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

it returns a KerberosTime formatted string that corresponds to the input parameter. yes, it just gives you the thing. main character behavior fr fr. 👑

🔥 REPORTING BUGS 🔥
