radcli_ctx_get_opt_str(3)

💅 radcli_ctx_get_opt_str(3) — bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Radius client library man pages, and it's the radcli_ctx_get_opt_str(3) one — the little function that hands you back a string-typed config option you set earlier. it's giving "read receipt for your settings" energy and honestly? iconic. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

radcli_ctx_get_opt_str — read back a string-typed configuration option. that's literally it, that's the whole job. she reads, she returns, she slays. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <radcli/>

const char * radcli_ctx_get_opt_str(
    const radcli_ctx  *ctx,
    radcli_opt_id      opt
);

no cap, that's the whole signature. two arguments, one const char * coming back at you. 🫶

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so, unlike radcli_ctx_set_opt_str(), this one is only valid for an RADCLI_OPT_TYPE_STR opt. lowkey important, don't skip that part. 🙈

and the tea on #RADCLI_OPT_AUTHSERVER/#RADCLI_OPT_ACCTSERVER? those are RADCLI_OPT_TYPE_SRV, and they store a parsed server list, not a string — so they are not readable through this call. not me warning you before you try it. 💀

---

✨ PARAMETERS ✨

• ctx — a context from radcli_ctx_new() or radcli_ctx_read_config(). basically your whole vibe, handed to you by someone else. 🧚
• opt — the option to read; it MUST be RADCLI_OPT_TYPE_STR in RC_OPTION_TABLE (think #RADCLI_OPT_DEFAULT_REALM, #RADCLI_OPT_DICTIONARY). main character option only, no impostors. 👑

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

the option's value, or NULL if:

• it's unset,
• ctx is NULL,
• opt is out of range,
• or opt is not RADCLI_OPT_TYPE_STR.

so like… NULL is the "she's not available rn" of return values. 😭 totally normal, not a crash, just check it fr fr. ⭐

real talk: always vibe check that return value before you dereference it. NULL is a valid answer here, not a bug report. 💅
