✨ shishi_tkts_default_ccache_guess ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the shishi manual — specifically page shishi_tkts_default_ccache_guess(3), section 3, and yes she's a function 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

shishi_tkts_default_ccache_guess — literally an API function, that's the whole name, no notes 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <shishi.h>

char * shishi_tkts_default_ccache_guess(Shishi * handle);

like, that's it. she takes one thing, she gives you back a string 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — the Shishi library handle, and you get one of those by calling shishi_init(). that's your girl, she's the entry point, you need her first fr fr

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works is, she guesses the default ccache ticket filename for you 🧚

and how does she guess, you ask? okay so she's actually super straightforward:

  • it's the contents of the environment variable KRB5CCNAME — like if that's set, that's the answer, periodt
  • orrrr it's /tmp/krb5cc_UID where UID is your user's identity in decimal, exactly as returned by getuid() 💫

that's the whole vibe check. environment variable first, fallback to the tmp path with your numeric UID in it. iykyk 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she returns the default ccache filename as a string 🎀

⚠️ bestie listen. that string is yours to clean up. you have to deallocate it with free() yourself, by the caller. she is not doing it for you, she is handing you the keys and walking away. do not forget, do not leak, we do not do that here 😭
