💖 gsasl_client_callback_maxbuf_set(3) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about a lil function from the gsasl manual 🫶 it's giving "old callback interface" and honestly? it's a whole vibe. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

gsasl_client_callback_maxbuf_set — API function 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gsasl.h>

void gsasl_client_callback_maxbuf_set(Gsasl * ctx,
Gsasl_client_callback_maxbuf cb);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Gsasl * ctx — the libgsasl handle, aka your main character. ✨
  • Gsasl_client_callback_maxbuf cb — callback function, the lil bestie that gets called. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, you're telling the client which callback function to use to inform the server of the largest buffer the client is able to receive when it's doing the DIGEST-MD5 "auth-int" or "auth-conf" Quality of Protection (qop). lowkey important if you don't want the server yeeting you a buffer that's way too big. 💀

and listen — if this directive is just… missing? ghosted? not set at all? then the default value 65536 gets assumed. periodt. 🫶

later on, if you wanna get that function back, you can retrieve it using gsasl_client_callback_maxbuf_get(). iconic symmetry, we love to see it. 🌈

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

ngl bestie, this function is part of the old callback interface. it's giving legacy. 😭

the new interface uses gsasl_callback_set() to set the application callback, and then uses gsasl_callback() or gsasl_property_get() to invoke the callback for certain properties. that's the move now. slay. ✨
