💖 al_get_fs_entry_mtime — Allegro 5 API 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 reference manual, this is al_get_fs_entry_mtime(3alleg5) and it's literally the moment you've been waiting for 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

no cap, here's how you call it:

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

time_t al_get_fs_entry_mtime(ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *e)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like. You hand it a filesystem entry and it gives you back a time_t — the time, in seconds since the epoch, since that entry was last modified. that's it. that's the whole vibe. mtime stands for "modification time" iykyk 💅

bestie note: it's seconds since the epoch, so if you're out here expecting a fancy struct with hours and minutes, that's not this function, that's a whole other era of your life 🙈
