gsasl_server_listmech(3)

💖 NAME 💖

gsasl_server_listmech — bestie, it's an API function ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gsasl.h>

int gsasl_server_listmech(Gsasl * ctx, char * out, size_t * outlen);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• Gsasl * ctx — the libgsasl handle, aka your main character 🫶
• char * out — the output character array, where the tea gets written 💅
• size_t * outlen — okay so on the way in this is the maximum size of the output character array, and on the way out it holds the actual length of the output array. she does double duty, iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: this one writes the SASL names — separated by a space, no cap — of all the mechanisms your libgsasl server supports, straight into the output array. ✨

And here's the little trick that lives rent free in my head: to find out how big the output array needs to be, you call this function with a NULL out parameter. like, you gotta ask her how much room she needs before you give her the room. lowkey genius 🧠

Return value: returns GSASL_OK if it went well, or an error code if it did not. simple as that 🌈

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

Bestie. Listen. Use gsasl_server_mechlist() instead. this one is deprecated, she's retired, she's living her soft life now 🙈
