✨ gsasl_server_callback_maxbuf_set(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the gsasl manual 💅 this one's a lil function page, and no cap, it's short but she's got lore.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gsasl_server_callback_maxbuf_set — it's an API function, periodt. that's literally the whole name section, she's a woman of few words 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gsasl.h>

void gsasl_server_callback_maxbuf_set(Gsasl * ctx,
Gsasl_server_callback_maxbuf cb);

yes the line break in the middle is just how she's typeset, don't come for her 🙈

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • Gsasl * ctx — your libgsasl handle, aka the main character of your session 👑
  • Gsasl_server_callback_maxbuf cb — the callback function itself, the little guy who's gonna do the work ✨

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so here's the tea ☕ this function sets the callback function that your server uses to tell the client the largest buffer the server can actually receive — and this only matters when you're using DIGEST-MD5 with the "auth-int" or "auth-conf" Quality of Protection (aka qop) 🫶

and if you just... forget to set it? no worries bestie, the default value of 65536 gets assumed 💀 the function is lowkey just chillin' with a sensible fallback.

whenever you want her back, you can retrieve her later with gsasl_server_callback_maxbuf_get() — she's not lost, she's just resting 🌈

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

okay bestie, listen. this function is part of the old callback interface. it's giving legacy energy 😭

the new interface does things differently:

  • you set the application callback with gsasl_callback_set()
  • and you invoke the callback for certain properties using gsasl_callback() or gsasl_property_get()

so like, she still works, but she's your aunt's Facebook account — beloved, but there's a newer way 💅
