✨ al_get_fs_entry_atime ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro reference manual 💖 — yes, that Allegro, the 5 API one, and today we're decoding al_get_fs_entry_atime together. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_get_fs_entry_atime — it's giving Allegro 5 API, and it's here to tell you when a filesystem entry was last touched 👀

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

time_t al_get_fs_entry_atime(ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *e)

like yes, that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, one pointer to an ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, this function returns the time in seconds since the epoch since the entry was last accessed. that's it. that's the tea. ✨

the return type is time_t, the unit is seconds, and the starting point is the epoch — so if you were hoping for a cute little human-readable date string, no ma'am, do the math yourself 🙈

⚠️ Warning: some filesystems either don't support this flag, or people turn it off to increase performance. It may not be valid in all circumstances. so like… don't trust it blindly, okay? it's not lying to you on purpose, it just might not know. 😭 no cap, treat this value with a lil suspicion.
