💖 gsasl_mechanism_name — NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gsasl_mechanism_name(3) page, section 3 of the manual, brought to you by the gsasl girlies 🦋

gsasl_mechanism_name — it's literally an API function, no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gsasl.h>

const char * gsasl_mechanism_name(Gsasl_session * sctx);

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 🎀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • Gsasl_session * sctx — bestie this is your libgsasl session handle. your little session bestie. the one you've been yapping with this whole time 💅

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so basically? this function returns the name of the SASL mechanism that's being used in the session. the way that it just... hands you the name. iconic behavior honestly ✨

🚨 GIRLIE LISTEN 🚨 the pointer it gives you must not be deallocated by the caller. do not free it. do not touch it. it's not yours, it's the library's. hands off, periodt 💀

Return value: it returns a zero terminated character array with the name of the SASL mechanism, OR — and hear me out — NULL if it's not known 🙈

so like, always check for NULL, fr fr.

🕰️ SINCE 🕰️

0.2.28 — this has been serving since way back, a true veteran 💜
