💖 gsasl_client_mechlist — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the gsasl manual, section 3, and it's literally about the function gsasl_client_mechlist. it's giving "let me tell you which SASL mechanisms your client can do" energy and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gsasl_client_mechlist — an API function, no cap 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gsasl.h>

int gsasl_client_mechlist(Gsasl * ctx, char ** out);

like. there it is. the whole vibe in one line. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Gsasl * ctx — your libgsasl handle, bestie. the main character of this whole operation. 👑
  • char ** out — a newly allocated output character array. fresh out the box, brand new, allocated just for you. 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the way this works is: it returns a newly allocated string that has the SASL names, separated by a space, of all the mechanisms that the libgsasl client supports. like, it's handing you the whole lineup. ⭐

and listen — out is allocated by this function, which means it is the responsibility of the caller to deallocate it. so don't just walk away from it, bestie, that's a memory leak and we don't do those here. free it. 💀

Return value: it returns GSASL_OK if everything went slay, or an error code if it didn't. that's it, that's the tea. 😭
