💖 shishi_hostkeys_for_localservice — bestie's guide to grabbing host keys 💖

okay so this is a page from the shishi manual (section 3, the library-call girlies ✨), and it's all about shishi_hostkeys_for_localservice. it's literally an API function, no cap. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <shishi.h>

Shishi_key * shishi_hostkeys_for_localservice(Shishi * handle, const
char * service);

that's the whole vibe. two args, one key, periodt 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — the Shishi library handle, which you get by creating it with shishi_init(). it's your main character, your anchor, your ride-or-die 🦋
  • const char * service — the service you want to get a key for. like, which service bestie. spill. 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so what does it do. it gets you the host key for a service on the current host in the default realm. that's it, that's the whole job. it's giving "errand girl but for keys" 💖

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

so it hands you back the key for the server "SERVICE/HOSTNAME" — where HOSTNAME is literally the current system's hostname, iykyk — read from the default host keys file (peep shishi_hostkeys_default_file() for that one 🍓).

and if no key could be found, or if an error got encountered? it returns NULL. sad girl hours 😭 no key for you.
