💖 gss_inquire_mech_for_saslname 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gss manual (section 3, we love a library page ✨), and it's literally the glow-up moment where a SASL mechanism name gets matched up with its actual GSS-API mechanism OID. matchmaking, but make it Kerberos 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gss_inquire_mech_for_saslname — an API function, periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gss.h>

OM_uint32 gss_inquire_mech_for_saslname(OM_uint32 * minor_status, const
gss_buffer_t sasl_mech_name, gss_OID * mech_type);

like… it's giving "three arguments, one function, zero drama" 🌈

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • OM_uint32 * minor_status — (Integer, modify) the mechanism-specific status code. it comes back changed, so it's a little gossip channel for the mechanism itself 💬
  • const gss_buffer_t sasl_mech_name — (buffer, character-string, read) a buffer holding the SASL mechanism name. read-only, we're just looking, not touching 🙈
  • gss_OID * mech_type — (OID, modify, optional) the actual mechanism used. and listen — the OID you get back through this parameter is a pointer to static storage, so treat it as read-only, bestie. do NOT try to free it. like, do not. specify NULL if you don't need it, no pressure 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

outputs the GSS-API mechanism OID of the mechanism that's associated with the given sasl_mech_name. that's it. that's the whole vibe ⭐

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

  • GSS_S_COMPLETE — successful completion. we ate, no crumbs 💅✨
  • GSS_S_BAD_MECH — there is no GSS-API mechanism known as sasl_mech_name. it's giving "who is she? never heard of her" 💀
