gsasl_application_data_set(3)

📦 version 1.10.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 gsasl_application_data_set — the gsasl girlies' guide 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the gsasl manual today, and this one is a tiny little function with a big secret: it's deprecated 🙈. Let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

gsasl_application_data_set — literally just an API function, no cap 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gsasl.h>

void gsasl_application_data_set(Gsasl * ctx, void * appdata);

like. that's the whole thing. she's small but she's doing her best 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • Gsasl * ctx — your libgsasl handle. the main character of the whole operation 👑
  • void * appdata — an opaque pointer to application specific data. opaque meaning we don't peek inside, we just hold it, respectfully 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what she does is: she stores application specific data inside the libgsasl handle. that's it. that's the job ✨

and the vibe is that later on — for instance, inside a callback — you can get that data back by calling gsasl_application_data_get(). it's giving storage unit for your own stuff 🎀

normally it's used by the application to maintain state between the main program and the callback. so like, your main program says something, the callback needs to remember it, and this is the lil messenger between them 💌

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

bestie. i need you to hear me. use gsasl_callback_hook_set() instead. periodt. this one is on the way out 😭
