rc_acct_proxy(3)

💖 rc_acct_proxy — a lil page from the Radius client library 💖

okay so bestie, we're in rc_acct_proxy(3) territory, and honestly? it's giving "short and sweet but don't sleep on it." pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

rc_acct_proxy —

that's it. that's the name. no lil tagline, no subtitle, just the function name and a lonely dash, and we respect the mystery 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <radcli/radcli.h>

int rc_acct_proxy(
    rc_handle   *rh,
    VALUE_PAIR  *send
);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do, you ask? it builds an accounting request with the value_pairs you hand it at send. that's the whole vibe. you bring the pairs, it brings the request. 💅

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• rh — a handle to your parsed configuration. the whole setup lives in here, bestie.
• send — a VALUE_PAIR array of values (e.g., PW_USER_NAME). this is the stuff you're sending out into the world ✨

---

👑 STRUCTURES 👑

⚠️ okay important: avoid using this structure directly. use the rc_avpair_get_ functions instead, fr fr. no cap. 🙈

struct rc_value_pair {
  char                   name[RC_NAME_LENGTH+1];      // attribute name if known.
  uint64_t               attribute; // attribute numeric value of type rc_attr_id including vendor; use VENDOR() and ATTRID() to separate.
  rc_attr_type           type;      // attribute type.
  uint32_t               lvalue;    // attribute value if type is PW_TYPE_INTEGER, PW_TYPE_DATE or PW_TYPE_IPADDR.
  char                   strvalue[AUTH_STRING_LEN+1];  // contains attribute value in other cases.
  struct rc_value_pair  *next;
  char                   pad[32];       // unused pad
};

look at all those fields. main character struct energy, honestly. 💜

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

• OK_RC (0) on success — slay, it worked ✨
• CHALLENGE_RC (3) when an Access-Challenge is received
• negative on failure — as a return value, so keep an eye out 👀

and that's the whole page, bestie. this one came from radcli, dated 2023-01-29, and it's literally rc_acct_proxy(3) — go build those accounting requests, you iconic lil network gremlin 🧚💖
