✨ GETCPAT — the GENPAT glow-up ✨

okay bestie, welcome to GETCPAT(3), part of the GENPAT functions manual 💖 this one is short and sweet and honestly iconic for it.

🌸 ORIGIN 🌸

so this software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM, which was developed by the ASIM team at the LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France 🥐✨

like… the whole thing is French academic royalty, no cap 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

GETCPAT();

that's it. that's the whole call. she's low maintenance 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

GETCPAT returns the date of the current pattern, measured in ps 🕰️✨

and what even is the current pattern, you ask? it's the one that got set by AFFECT or INIT — so basically GETCPAT hands you back the date of the last modified pattern, whether that modification came from being affected or initialised 🫶

so like… last one to touch it wins, and GETCPAT is the group chat screenshot of what they did 👀

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

int t;
t = GETCPAT();

look at her go 😭 just declaring an int t and catching the date like it's a bouquet at a wedding 🌸

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go read the whole family bestie, they're all connected, iykyk 💫

💀 BUG REPORT 💀

this tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory 🛠️

and listen — they need your feedback to improve documentation and tools 🙏 so if something's giving broken, tell them! constructive vibes only, but fr fr speak up 💖

that's the whole page bestie, you ate it, periodt 💅✨

this cutie was brought to you by ASIM/LIP6 and dates all the way back to October 1, 1997 (a true vintage queen 👑), and yes, she's still out here living her best life as GETCPAT(3) 🎀🦋💜
