gsasl_client_c...k_anonymous_set(3)

📦 version 1.10.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 NAME 💖

gsasl_client_callback_anonymous_set — bestie, it's an API function ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in the gsasl manual (that's GNU SASL, the whole authentication vibe), and it's about setting one very specific little callback. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gsasl.h>

void gsasl_client_callback_anonymous_set(Gsasl * ctx,
       Gsasl_client_callback_anonymous cb);

that's the whole shape of it. include the header, call the thing, done. no cap 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Gsasl * ctx — the libgsasl handle. your main character context object, the one everything hangs off of 👑
  • Gsasl_client_callback_anonymous cb — the callback function itself. this is the lil function you're handing over 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it do. You're specifying the callback function that the client uses to set the anonymous token — and that token is usually just the user's email address. like, that's it, that's the vibe 🍓

and here's the cute part: later on you can grab that same function back with gsasl_client_callback_anonymous_get(). so it's a set/get situation, very balanced, very symmetrical, we love to see it ✨

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

bestie. listen. this function is part of the old callback interface. it's giving legacy. it's giving "we don't do it like this anymore" 😭

The new interface uses gsasl_callback_set() to set the application callback, and uses gsasl_callback() or gsasl_property_get() to invoke the callback for certain properties.

so like, if you're writing fresh code, maybe don't reach for this one unless you have to. iykyk 🙈
