✨ shishi_tkt_startctime ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the shishi manual, section 3 (that's the library-functions girlies 💅), and it's literally called shishi_tkt_startctime. yes it's a mouthful. yes it's iconic. let's go 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

time_t shishi_tkt_startctime(Shishi_tkt * tkt);

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, one argument. she's lowkey minimal and we respect that 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi_tkt * tkt — bestie this is your input variable with ticket info. that's the tea. hand her a ticket and she'll do her thing ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what she does is extract the C time corresponding to the starttime field. and what is that field, you ask? it holds the time where the ticket start to be valid — and no, that's not a typo in my brain, it's the manpage's own grammar and we're keeping it exactly, periodt.

also key detail: that starttime is typically in the past. so yeah, she's reading a timestamp that already happened. not a countdown, not a future prediction, just receipts from the past. 💅

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she returns the C time interpretation of the endtime in ticket. and yes bestie, i know, we just spent the whole DESCRIPTION talking about starttime and now the return value is saying endtime — that is literally what the page says, character for character, and i am not about to start editing the ancestors. noted. moving on. 🙈
