💅 pskc_set_key_p...failedattempts — like, the whole page, bestie

okay so real talk, this is a libpskc manual page — the function name got chopped to pskc_set_key_p...failedattempts in the header because it's long, but the actual function is the whole thing spelled out below. we stay cunty, we stay accurate. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pskc_set_key_policy_pinmaxfailedattempts — an API function. that's it, that's the whole name section, she's brief and she's iconic. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <pskc.h>

void pskc_set_key_policy_pinmaxfailedattempts(pskc_key_t * key, uint32_t
attempts);

yes bestie she returns void, no little return value to check, she just does the thing. 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • pskc_key_t * key — a pskc_key_t handle, and you get it from pskc_get_keypackage(). that's your entry ticket, no ticket no setter. ✨
  • uint32_t attempts — the number of attempts you wanna set. a whole uint32_t of attempts. 💖

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so what this does: it sets the PSKC KeyPackage Key Policy PINPolicy MaxFailedAttempts value. 🎯

and like, what does that actually mean? it means this attribute indicates the maximum number of times the PIN may be entered wrongly before it MUST NOT be possible to use the key anymore. like, capital-M capital-N MUST NOT. the key gets locked out, bestie, she's done, no more tries. 🔒💀

and the docs are being super helpful here: typical reasonable values are in the positive integer range of at least 2 and no more than 10. so like... 2 to 10. don't be weird about it. 🌈

⭐ SINCE ⭐

2.2.0 — she's been around, she's a legacy queen. 👑

ngl the vibe here is: set your PIN max failed attempts, keep it between 2 and 10, accept that lockout is real and she is coming for you. 🙈

that's the whole page bestie, no notes, no cap. this lil' beauty came to you from libpskc, version 2.6.15, and it's the pskc_set_key_p...failedattempts(3) page — she's serving the exact same energy she always has. mwah. 💜✨
