🕰️ time_before(9) 🕰️

okay so bestie, welcome to the time_before(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — we’re folding that manual name in right here like a little name tag 🫶. This is the whole vibe: a bool check for whether one time comes before another. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

time_before — returns true if the time a is before time b. That’s it, that’s the function 💅.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool time_before (u64 a , u64 b );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• a — the first comparable, as a u64 🧚
• b — the second comparable, as a u64 🧚

💖 RETURN 💖

Returns true if time a is before time b; otherwise it returns false. Slay, that’s the whole answer ✨.
