💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, gather round — this is gsasl_register, and she is literally an API function 🫶 that's the whole name, no notes, we move.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, the whole vibe in one line:

#include <gsasl.h>

int gsasl_register(Gsasl * ctx, const Gsasl_mechanism * mech);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

two (2) little guys walk into a function:

Gsasl * ctx — a pointer to the libgsasl handle. that's your context, your main character, the whole situation 💅
const Gsasl_mechanism * mech — the plugin structure holding all the info about the plugin. she's the plug. she's carrying the lore 🔥

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the way this works: gsasl_register initializes the mechanism you handed it, and — only if that goes well — it adds her to the list of plugins that the library uses. it's giving "you're in the group chat now, welcome" 😭💖

Return value, pay attention bestie: it returns GSASL_OK iff successful — and yes, "iff" is doing real work here, it means if and only if — otherwise you get GSASL_MALLOC_ERROR. that's the whole report card, no in-between, no participation trophy 🏆

🦋 SINCE 🦋

0.2.0 — she's been iconic since day one, fr fr.
