rc_find_server_addr(3)

✨ rc_find_server_addr ✨ — from the Radius client library manual, section 3 (library calls, bestie 💅)

okay so. you're deep in radcli land and you need to find where a server actually lives. that's literally this function. it's giving "detective but for RADIUS servers" 🕵️♀️

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rc_find_server_addr — (yeah bestie the original page leaves the description blank, so we're keeping it blank, no cap 🙈)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <radcli/radcli.h>

int rc_find_server_addr(
    rc_handle const   *rh,
    char const        *server_name,
    struct addrinfo  **info,
    char              *secret,
    rc_type            type
);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this function goes looking for a server inside the config that rh is holding. if it's not chillin' in there? it goes and checks for a servers file instead. that's it, that's the whole personality. iconic behaviour honestly ✨

---

💖 PARAMETERS 💖

• rh — a handle to the parsed configuration. your whole context, your whole setup, your main character 🫶
• server_name — the name of the server you're hunting for. yes, the actual name. we love specificity 💅
• info — this is the output slot: it will hold a pointer to an addrinfo. it comes back with the goods 📬
• secret — will hold the server's secret (of MAX_SECRET_LENGTH). keep it secret, keep it safe, don't text it to anyone 🔐
• type — either AUTH or ACCT. pick your fighter ⚔️

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

• 0 on success 🎉
• -1 on failure 😭
