📦 version 1.10.0, in ubuntu jammy

💖 NAME 💖

gsasl_server_step_base64 — bestie, this is an API function, and it's lowkey the ✨wrapped✨ version of a bigger one. iykyk.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gsasl.h>

int gsasl_server_step_base64(Gsasl_session * sctx, const char *
b64input, char * b64output, size_t b64output_len);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • Gsasl_session * sctx — the libgsasl server handle, aka your main character. she holds the session.
  • const char * b64input — the input, which is a base64 encoded byte array. yes the whole thing is encoded, we are not playing.
  • char * b64output — the output, also a base64 encoded byte array. she gives back what she got, but encoded.
  • size_t b64output_len — the size of that output base64 encoded byte array. tell her how much room she has, she will not guess, no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: gsasl_server_step() is the real one doing the work, and this function is literally just her little sister showing up with a glow-up. this is a simple wrapper around gsasl_server_step() that base64 decodes the input and base64 encodes the output. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

Return value: go check gsasl_server_step() — same energy, same return value. ✨

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

not me having to tell you this... bestie she's deprecated. 🚫 use gsasl_step64() instead, fr fr. she served her time, let her rest.
