✨ gsasl_property_fast 💅

okay so bestie, listen — this is a page from the gsasl manual, and today's main character is gsasl_property_fast, an API function. yes it's giving very "small function, big feelings". let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

gsasl_property_fast — an API function. that's it. that's the name. iconic of her honestly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gsasl.h>

const char * gsasl_property_fast(Gsasl_session * sctx, Gsasl_property prop);

like, two args, one pointer, zero drama. we love a low-maintenance queen 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Gsasl_session * sctx — the session handle. literally your backstage pass to the whole session, no big deal 💖
  • Gsasl_property prop — an enumerated value of type Gsasl_property, and it's the one telling you what kind of data lives in data. yes it's a lil hint-dropper, we stan a communicative icon 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what she does: she retrieves the data that's stored in the session handle for the given prop. that's the whole gig. you ask for a property, she hands it over.

now here's the part where you gotta be careful, bestie 🚨 — the pointer she returns points at live data. do NOT deallocate it, and do NOT modify it in any way. it's not yours to touch, it's hers. look only, no hands 🙈

also important, no cap: this function will not invoke the application callback. she's the fast lane, she's not gonna go ring up your callback for you. if you wanted that, wrong function, wrong vibe ✋

Return value: she returns the property value if it's known, or NULL if no value is known. mmm NULL, the classic "idk her" 😭

⭐ SINCE ⭐

0.2.0 — she's been around, she's a legacy icon, an OG. respect the elders 👑
