💖 sasl_chalprompt_t(3) — a Cyrus SASL moment 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Cyrus SASL manual, section 3 (that's the library-calls girlies), and it's literally all about asking the user for input when the server comes at you with a challenge. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

sasl_chalprompt_t — Cyrus SASL documentation

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <sasl/prop.h>

int sasl_chalprompt_t(void *context, int id,
    const char *challenge,
    const char *prompt, const char *defresult,
    const char **result, unsigned *len)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

int sasl_chalprompt_t(void *context,

int id,

const char *challenge,

const char *prompt,

const char *defresult,

const char **result,

unsigned *len)

so sasl_chalprompt_t is the callback that prompts for input in response to a server challenge. like, the server says something, and you gotta go get the human's answer. it's giving middleman energy, but make it ✨necessary✨.

🎀 Parameters 🎀

• context – is the context from the callback record
• id – is the callback id (either SASL_CB_ECHOPROMPT or SASL_CB_NOECHOPROMPT)
• challenge – the server's challenge
• prompt – A prompt for the user
• defresult – Default result (may be NULL)
• len – Length of the user's response.

🫶 Result 🫶

The user's response (a NUL terminated string) or SASL error code.

ngl, SASL_CB_ECHOPROMPT vs SASL_CB_NOECHOPROMPT is the whole vibe check here — one shows what you type, one absolutely does not. 👀

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

The user's response (NUL terminated), or a SASL error code. See sasl_errors(3).
