time_between32(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to time_between32 from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes, the manual name is folded in right here, no need to copy the header line, we're cute like that 💅

💖 NAME 💖

time_between32 — check if a 32-bit timestamp is within a given time range. that's the whole vibe ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the synopsis is literally this, exact characters and all:

time_between32 (t , l , h );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• t — the time which may be within [l,h] 🫶
• l — the lower bound of the range
• h — the higher bound of the range

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so time_before32(t, l, h) returns true if l <= t <= h. yep, the page literally says time_before32 there — I'm not fixing it, I'm just reading it to you, bestie 😭

important vibe check: all operands are treated as 32-bit integers. periodt.

and it's equivalent to !(time_before32(t, l) || time_after32(t, h)). iconic little negation situation, no cap 💀
