💖 gsasl_appinfo_set(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gsasl manual — this is the page for gsasl_appinfo_set, and yes it's a whole vibe, let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gsasl_appinfo_set — API function

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gsasl.h>

void gsasl_appinfo_set(Gsasl_session * sctx, void * appdata);

like, that's the whole thing. two args. no return value. she's simple, she's iconic 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Gsasl_session * sctx — the libgsasl session handle, aka the main character of this whole operation 🫶
  • void * appdata — an opaque pointer to application specific data. it's giving mystery, it's giving "don't look at me, i'm just a pointer" 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she actually do? she stores application specific data inside the libgsasl session handle. that's it, that's the job. no cap 🧚

then later — for instance, inside a callback — you can get that data back by calling gsasl_appinfo_get(). so it's a little hand-off, a lil pass-the-torch moment 🔥

and what's it normally used for? keeping state between your main program and the callback. so your callback can be like "oh hey, i remember you" and everything stays consistent. obsessed, honestly 😭

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

bestie. no. this one is deprecated. use gsasl_callback_hook_set() instead. periodt.

like, she still works, but she's retired. respectfully. please use the other one 🙏
