AuthAzureStorage C Reference Documentation

AuthAzureStorage

Current Version: 10.1.2

Provides functionality for authenticating calls to Azure Storage Services.

Create/Dispose

HCkAuthAzureStorage instance = CkAuthAzureStorage_Create();
// ...
CkAuthAzureStorage_Dispose(instance);
HCkAuthAzureStorage CkAuthAzureStorage_Create(void);

Creates an instance of the HCkAuthAzureStorage object and returns a handle ("void *" pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.

void CkAuthAzureStorage_Dispose(HCkAuthAzureStorage handle);

Objects created by calling CkAuthAzureStorage_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function. Also, any handle returned by a Chilkat "C" function must also be freed by the application by calling the appropriate Dispose method, such as CkAuthAzureStorage_Dispose.

Properties

AccessKey
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getAccessKey(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkAuthAzureStorage_putAccessKey(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_accessKey(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

A valid base64 access key for the Azure storage account.

Account
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getAccount(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkAuthAzureStorage_putAccount(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_account(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

The Azure storage account name. (A storage account can contain zero or more containers. A container contains properties, metadata, and zero or more blobs. A blob is any single entity comprised of binary data, properties, and metadata. )

DebugLogFilePath
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getDebugLogFilePath(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkAuthAzureStorage_putDebugLogFilePath(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_debugLogFilePath(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

  • A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
  • A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
  • An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

LastErrorHtml
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getLastErrorHtml(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_lastErrorHtml(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastErrorText
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getLastErrorText(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_lastErrorText(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastErrorXml
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getLastErrorXml(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_lastErrorXml(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

top
LastMethodSuccess
BOOL CkAuthAzureStorage_getLastMethodSuccess(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);
void CkAuthAzureStorage_putLastMethodSuccess(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, BOOL newVal);

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: TRUE means success, FALSE means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

top
Scheme
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getScheme(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkAuthAzureStorage_putScheme(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_scheme(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

Can be "SharedKey" or "SharedKeyLite". The default value is "SharedKey".

top
Service
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getService(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkAuthAzureStorage_putService(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_service(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

Can be "Blob", "Queue", "File", or "Table". The default is "Blob".

Note: Authentication for the "Table" service did not work in versions prior to v9.5.0.83.

top
Utf8
BOOL CkAuthAzureStorage_getUtf8(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);
void CkAuthAzureStorage_putUtf8(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, BOOL newVal);

When set to TRUE, all "const char *" arguments are interpreted as utf-8 strings. If set to FALSE (the default), then "const char *" arguments are interpreted as ANSI strings. Also, when set to TRUE, and Chilkat method returning a "const char *" is returning the utf-8 representation. If set to FALSE, all "const char *" return values are ANSI strings.

top
VerboseLogging
BOOL CkAuthAzureStorage_getVerboseLogging(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);
void CkAuthAzureStorage_putVerboseLogging(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, BOOL newVal);

If set to TRUE, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is FALSE. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top
Version
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getVersion(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_version(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

XMsVersion
void CkAuthAzureStorage_getXMsVersion(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, HCkString retval);
void CkAuthAzureStorage_putXMsVersion(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle, const char *newVal);
const char *CkAuthAzureStorage_xMsVersion(HCkAuthAzureStorage cHandle);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

If set, automatically adds the "x-ms-version" HTTP request header to Azure Storage requests. The default value is "2014-02-14".
