AuthAzureStorage C Reference Documentation

AuthAzureStorage

Current Version: 10.1.0

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, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

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

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

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

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

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

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

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

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of TRUE indicates success, a value of FALSE indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = TRUE and failure = FALSE.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to TRUE. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

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 "9.5.0.94"

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".
