💖 shishi_authorize_k5login 💖

okay bestie, so this one is shishi_authorize_k5login(3) — a lil API function from the shishi library, living its best life in section 3 of the manual. it's giving "am I allowed in?" energy and honestly? iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <shishi.h>

int shishi_authorize_k5login(Shishi * handle, const char * principal,
       const char * authzname);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — the shishi handle, bestie. you gotta allocate it with shishi_init() first, no skipping steps 💅
  • const char * principal — a string holding the principal name you want plus the realm. like, the whole thing, not just the name part, okay? 🦋
  • const char * authzname — the authorization name. the one we're checking up on 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically it authorizes authzname against the principal you want, following the MIT/Heimdal authorization method. that's the vibe. that's the whole thing. lowkey elegant, ngl ✨

🫶 RETURN VALUE 🫶

  • returns 1 if authzname is authorized for services by principal — slay, you're in 💖
  • returns 0 otherwise — not me getting rejected by the k5login file 😭
