gsasl_client_c...tication_id_get(3)

📦 version 1.10.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 gsasl_client_callback_authentication_id_get — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the gsasl manual (section 3, the library functions girlies 🫶), and today we're decoding gsasl_client_callback_authentication_id_get. yes the name is a whole paragraph, we don't make the rules 💀

✨ NAME ✨

gsasl_client_callback_authentication_id_get — it's an API function, no cap, that's literally its whole job description 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gsasl.h>

Gsasl_client_callback_authentication_id
gsasl_client_callback_authentication_id_get(Gsasl * ctx);

like. look at that return type. it's giving long. it's giving unhinged typedef energy. but she works 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • Gsasl * ctx — your libgsasl handle, bestie. the little passport that says "yes I am a gsasl context, let me in" 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the way this works: this function goes and gets the callback that you (or someone) earlier set by calling gsasl_client_callback_authentication_id_set(). that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's a getter. it fetches the thing. 🔥

Return value: it returns the callback that was earlier set by calling gsasl_client_callback_authentication_id_set(). yes, the return value description is the same sentence again. the manpage said it twice, so I'm saying it twice, we keep every crumb 🍓

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

bestie. listen to me. this function is part of the old callback interface. she's vintage. she's an antique. she is not the moment anymore.

the new interface uses gsasl_callback_set() to set the application callback, and then uses gsasl_callback() or gsasl_property_get() to invoke that callback for certain properties. so like, the glow-up path is right there. go take it. 👑
