🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <tickit.h>

TickitTerm *tickit_get_term(Tickit *t);

Link with -ltickit.

not me giving you the whole recipe up front 💅 include the header, call the function, link the library, boom, you're iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So tickit_get_term() does the thing where it grabs the terminal instance that's associated with the toplevel instance — and if that terminal doesn't exist yet? It creates it first 🔥 lowkey doing the work before you even asked, main character energy fr fr.

And here's the slay part: once it's been created, every single repeated call to this function just hands you back the same terminal. No new one, no surprise clone, same vibe every time. periodt. 💜

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

tickit_get_term() returns a terminal instance pointer. that's it, that's the tea 🍓 (a TickitTerm *, if we're being specific, and we always are).
