gsasl_decode_inline(3)

📦 version 1.10.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 gsasl_decode_inline — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so we're in the gsasl manual, section 3 (that's the library-functions section, iykyk), and today's main character is gsasl_decode_inline. she's an API function. she's also, um. retired. we'll get to that. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gsasl_decode_inline — API function. that's it, that's the name. short, sweet, iconic. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gsasl.h>

int gsasl_decode_inline(Gsasl_session * sctx, const char * input, size_t
input_len, char * output, size_t * output_len);

like, copy that verbatim babes, the compiler is not forgiving and neither is #include <gsasl.h>. 🌈

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Gsasl_session * sctx — your libgsasl session handle. the whole vibe holder. she knows things about your session that you do not. 👑
  • const char * input — the input byte array. the raw material. the tea being spilled. 💌
  • size_t input_len — how big that input byte array is. count your bytes bestie, don't guess. 📏
  • char * output — the output byte array. where the decoded stuff lands. make room for her. ✨
  • size_t * output_len — the size of the output byte array. pointer, so she can be updated. she writes back. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole thing: she decodes data according to the negotiated SASL mechanism. and ngl that might mean the data is integrity protected or privacy protected — like, there's layers, it's giving security onion. 🧅✨

Return value: returns GSASL_OK if the encoding was successful, otherwise an error code. so like, check it. fr fr. 🙈

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

she's deprecated, bestie. use gsasl_decode() instead. this is not a drill, this is not a vibe check you can pass. move on. 💀💅

⭐ SINCE ⭐

0.2.0 — she's been around since 0.2.0. an elder. a legend. a historical figure. 🎀
