rc_tls_fd(3)

💖 rc_tls_fd — bestie, lemme tell u about ur TLS file descriptor 💖

okay so this is a lil page from the radcli radius client library manual (that's section 3 of the manual, the library-calls girlies ✨). it's short, it's sweet, it's lowkey iconic, let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rc_tls_fd — no cap, that's literally the whole name, the original didn't give it a one-liner and honestly? mysterious. main character energy 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <radcli/radcli.h>

int rc_tls_fd(
    rc_handle  *rh
);

like, one include, one function, one argument. clean. minimal. obsessed 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it DO. it returns the file descriptor of the TLS/DTLS session. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ur session said "here's my fd" and this function delivers it to u 🌈

and bestie, here's the cute part: u can also use it as a test — like a lil vibe check for ur application to see whether TLS or DTLS are in use at all. if there's an fd, there's a secure session. slay 🔥

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• rh — a handle to parsed configuration. that's ur lil config buddy, all parsed and ready. hand it over and it'll tell u what's up 💜

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

it gives u back the file descriptor used by the TLS session, or -1 on error. so like… if u get -1, that's the universe telling u something went wrong 😭 not me getting an error return bestie 🙈
