SASL_DISPOSE(3)

💖 SASL_DISPOSE(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Cyrus SASL corner of the man pages 🌸 this one's about sasl_dispose, and it's genuinely one of the most chill pages you'll ever read. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

sasl_dispose — Cyrus SASL documentation 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <sasl/sasl.h>

void sasl_dispose(sasl_conn_t **pconn );

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so, first thing's first, the page hits you with this lil block right here:

int sasl_encode(sasl_conn_t *conn,

const char * input,

unsigned inputlen,

const char ** output,

unsigned * outputlen);

that's just how it is, bestie, we don't question it 🙈 moving on.

<sentence> sasl_dispose is called when a SASL connection object is no longer needed. </sentence>

and now the part that lowkey matters the most: note that this is usually when the protocol session is done, NOT when the authentication is done, since a security layer may have been negotiated. read that again fr fr, because that "NOT" is doing main character energy levels of work in that sentence 👑

🌸 Parameters 🌸

• conn – is the SASL connection context

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

No return values 💀 like, none. it just does its thing and dips. iconic behaviour honestly.

🌈 CONFORMING TO 🌈
