tai_unpack(3)

💖 tai_unpack — from the Library Functions Manual, bestie 💖

okay so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual, and it's about one lil function called tai_unpack, and honestly? it's giving "tiny but mighty" energy. no cap. let's get into it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

tai_unpack — convert to external TAI64 format

like yes, that's the whole name section, it's short, it ate, periodt. 💅

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <libowfat/tai.h>

extern int tai_unpack(const char* buf,struct tai* t);

so you gotta pull in <libowfat/tai.h> first, that's non-negotiable bestie, and then the function itself is declared extern, returns an int, and takes exactly two things:

• const char* buf — the buffer, and it's const so we're reading it, not messing with it, we respect it 🙈
• struct tai* t — a pointer to a struct tai, this is where the good stuff lands

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕:

tai_unpack converts a TAI64 label from external TAI64 format sitting in buf into internal format in t.

that's it. that's the function. it takes the outside-world version of a TAI64 label and unpacks it into the internal representation so your code can actually use it. lowkey iconic that a whole manpage can be this chill. 🌈

tiny reminder from me to you: it's buf going in, t coming out. don't get them twisted or the vibe check will be failed. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! the footer of this manual is literally just tai_unpack(3) again — no version, no date, just the name doing a little encore at the bottom of the terminal. 🦋✨ so like, the manual is the Library Functions Manual version, and that's all she wrote. slay. 💖
