That is the only worthwhile information it has, whatever it is you want to
do you have to do it using that value.

Really, I'm not adding anymore random obscure junk that only 1 person
needs, there is already heaps and heaps and heaps of it. It is an utter
pain to keep it all working.

I am building a Python API for the thing, there is a C API too, from now
on the answer is pretty much always going to be to use one of those two
things.
