gss_mech_flavor2info(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is gss_mech_flavor2info(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and its whole thing is looking up a GSS tuple for a given pseudoflavor. bestie, that's the vibe 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int gss_mech_flavor2info (rpc_authflavor_t pseudoflavor , struct
rpcsec_gss_info *info );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pseudoflavor — the GSS pseudoflavor to match 🔍
• info — the rpcsec_gss_info structure to fill in 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea: it returns zero and fills in "info" if pseudoflavor matches a supported mechanism. Otherwise, it hands you back a negative errno. that's it, that's the whole plot 😭 no cap.

lowkey important: zero = yay, negative errno = not it. keep that in mind 👑
