gsasl_server_application_data_get(3)

📦 version 1.10.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 gsasl_server_application_data_get — the libgsasl page, bestie edition 💖

okay so. you're in the gsasl manual (that's the GNU SASL situation, iykyk ✨), and this particular page is about gsasl_server_application_data_get. it's an API function. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gsasl.h>

void * gsasl_server_application_data_get(Gsasl_session * sctx);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Gsasl_session * sctx — the libgsasl server handle. your server-side main character 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically: this pulls your application specific data back out of a libgsasl server handle. it's giving "where did i put my stuff" but make it API ✨

the data got in there in the first place via gsasl_server_application_data_set() — that's the setter, this is the getter, they're a matched set, obsessed 💖

and what's it for? it's normally used by the application to maintain state between the main program and the callback. that's it, that's the whole vibe — you're passing notes between your main program and your callback like it's a group chat 🦋

Return value: it hands back the application specific data. or, if there's nothing there... NULL. no data, no problem, no cap 💀

⚠️ DEPRECATED ⚠️

bestie. listen. this one is deprecated. it's not the moment anymore 😭

use gsasl_callback_hook_get() or gsasl_session_hook_get() instead. those are the current faves, the upgraded versions, the glow-up 👑
