okay bestie, welcome to the globus_gsi...activation(3) page, from the globus_gsi_cert_utils manual. this one is short and sweet and it's literally just about turning the thing ON and OFF. think of it as the power button energy of the whole library. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

globus_gsi_cert_utils_activation — Activation

• Activation.

yeah that's it, that's the whole name section. she's concise. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Macros

#define GLOBUS_GSI_CERT_UTILS_MODULE

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

Activation.

so here's the tea, bestie: Globus GSI Cert Utils uses standard Globus module activation and deactivation. that means before you call any Globus GSI Cert Utils functions, you HAVE to call this first:

globus_module_activate(GLOBUS_GSI_CERT_UTILS_MODULE)

this function returns GLOBUS_SUCCESS if Globus GSI Credential was successfully initialized, which means you are therefore allowed to subsequently call Globus GSI Cert Utils functions. 🫶

otherwise? an error code is returned, and Globus GSI Cert Utils functions should not be subsequently called. like, do not pass go. do not collect your cert utils. 🙈

and the good news: this function may be called multiple times. she's flexible like that. 💅

no cap, activate first or nothing else works. that's the vibe check. ⭐

---

now, to deactivate Globus GSI Cert Utils, you call:

globus_module_deactivate(GLOBUS_GSI_CERT_UTILS_MODULE)

and listen — this function should be called once for each time Globus GSI Cert Utils was activated. so if you activated it three times, you deactivate it three times. it's giving ✨balanced✨. it's giving accountability. don't leave her hanging with an unbalanced refcount, bestie. 😭
