✨ gsasl_property_set ✨

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gsasl manual (that's GNU SASL, the auth library, iykyk) and it's literally just "here's a string, hold onto it for me" 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

gsasl_property_set — API function 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gsasl.h>

int gsasl_property_set(Gsasl_session * sctx, Gsasl_property prop, const
char * data);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • Gsasl_session * sctx — the session handle, aka your lil session bestie that's gonna carry this data around 🫶
  • Gsasl_property prop — an enumerated value of the Gsasl_property type, and it tells you what kind of data is chillin' in data ⭐
  • const char * data — a zero terminated character string that you want to store. yes, the classic null-terminated kind, no surprises 💀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what this does: it makes a copy of data, and stores that copy in the session handle under the indicated property prop. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🌸

and here's the part that's genuinely so convenient: you can immediately deallocate data after calling this function, and it will not affect the data stored in the session handle. because it copied it. she took a photo, she didn't borrow your phone 📸✨

Return value: GSASL_OK iff successful, otherwise GSASL_MALLOC_ERROR. so if you get something that isn't GSASL_OK, the malloc said no and that's the whole story 😭

⏳ SINCE ⏳

0.2.0 — she's been iconic since day one, periodt 👑
