radcli_ctx_...from_buffer(3)

📦 version 2.0.1, in arch rolling

💖 radcli_ctx_read_dictionary_from_buffer(3) 💖

okay so bestie, you've landed on the Radius client library page titled radcli_ctx_...from_buffer(3) — and no cap, this little helper is lowkey iconic. It's giving "dictionary text already in memory, let's go" energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

radcli_ctx_read_dictionary_from_buffer — load an additional attribute dictionary from an in-memory buffer. 🧠💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <radcli/>

int radcli_ctx_read_dictionary_from_buffer(
    radcli_ctx  *ctx,
    const char  *buf,
    size_t       size
);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This is the from-buffer counterpart to radcli_ctx_read_dictionary() — for a caller that already has dictionary text in memory rather than in a file (e.g. a small, program-defined supplemental dictionary). The way that it was added so a radcli2.h-only caller is not forced to reach into radcli.h's rc_read_dictionary_from_buffer() for this one operation? Obsessed. 💖

💜 PARAMETERS 💜

  • ctx — a context from radcli_ctx_new() or radcli_ctx_read_config().
  • buf — the dictionary text.
  • size — buf's length in bytes.

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

  • 0 on success. slay. ✅
  • -1 on failure — that's a parse error, including a conflicting redefinition of an already-loaded attribute. 😭💀
