💅 radcli_avp_get_ip6(3) — bestie's guide to the Radius client library

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Radius client library (that's the manual we're in, mwah 💖) and you've got an attribute just sitting there holding an IPv6 address or prefix, and you need it OUT. That's this function. It's giving "extract the goods" energy. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

radcli_avp_get_ip6 — read an attribute's value as an IPv6 address or prefix. that's it, that's the whole gig. ngl it does exactly what it says on the tin 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <radcli/>

int radcli_avp_get_ip6(
    const radcli_avp  *a,
    struct in6_addr   *out,
    unsigned          *prefix
);

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so the actual DESCRIPTION section on this page is literally blank 😭 like the manpage authors said "the vibes will explain it" and moved on. no cap. everything you need is chilling in PARAMETERS and RETURN VALUE below — go look, I got you 💜

👑 PARAMETERS 👑

  • a — the attribute itself. the catch? radcli_avp_def(a) must be RADCLI_TYPE_IPV6ADDR or RADCLI_TYPE_IPV6PREFIX. anything else and we're not doing this. main character attribute only 🔥
  • out — where the address gets written. lowkey important detail: for RADCLI_TYPE_IPV6PREFIX it's zero-padded beyond the prefix length. also it may be NULL, so if you just wanna peek at the prefix and not the address, you do you bestie 💅
  • prefix — where the prefix length goes. it's 128 for RADCLI_TYPE_IPV6ADDR, which makes sense (a whole address is a /128, periodt). and yep — it may be NULL too. equal opportunity NULLs ✨

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

  • 0 — success!! ate. 💖
  • -1 — a's type does not match. the vibe check failed, sorry babe 🙈
