💖 gsasl_finish(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one is from the gsasl manual — section 3, the library-functions section, iykyk. and it's literally just about saying a clean goodbye. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gsasl_finish — it's an API function, no cap, that's the whole name section.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the tea, verbatim:

#include <gsasl.h>

void gsasl_finish(Gsasl_session * sctx);

she takes one arg and returns nothing (void) — she's not here to hand you data back, she's here to clean up. 🧹

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • Gsasl_session * sctx — the libgsasl session handle. that's your girl. the one you've been doing all the auth stuff with. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so listen up because this part matters for real for real:

gsasl_finish destroys a libgsasl client or server handle. like, fully releases it. it's the the way that you close the door behind you when you leave of this whole library. 🚪✨

🚨 the one rule, periodt: after you call this, you must not use that handle with any other libgsasl functions. not one. not even a little one. once it's finished it is finished, bestie — the handle is gone and reaching for it again is giving chaos. 💀

so: use it, love it, and then let it go. main character closure energy. 🫶

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈

found something cursed? not me gatekeeping — go tell the devs:

they wanna hear it. it's called ✨community✨.
