Obtaining the Public Access Status of a Bucket (SDK for C)

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.

Function

This API is used to obtain the public access status of a bucket. The public access status of a bucket is determined based on multiple factors, including the bucket policy, ACL, and BPA configuration. It is used to determine whether the bucket is at risk of public access.

Restrictions

Method

void get_bucket_public_status(const obs_options *options,
    obs_get_bucket_public_status_handler *handler, void *callback_data);

Request Parameters

Table 1 List of request parameters

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

options

const obs_options*

Yes

Explanation:

Context of the requested bucket. You can set the AK, SK, endpoint, bucket, timeout interval, and temporary credentials through obs_options.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

None

Default value:

None

handler

Table 2*

Yes

Explanation:

Callback structure, including the response callback, end callback, and callback for obtaining the public access status of a bucket.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

None

Default value:

None

callback_data

void *

No

Explanation:

Custom callback data.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

None

Default value:

None

Table 2 obs_get_bucket_public_status_handler

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

response_handler

obs_response_handler

Yes

Explanation:

Response callback function structure.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

None

Default value:

None

get_public_status_callback

obs_get_bucket_public_status_callback*

Yes

Explanation:

Pointer to the callback function for obtaining the public access status of a bucket. You can read the content of obs_bucket_public_status in the callback.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

None

Default value:

None

Table 3 obs_get_bucket_public_status_callback

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

policy_status

const Table 4*

Yes

Explanation:

Bucket public access status structure, including information about whether the bucket is public.

Restrictions:

The structure and the memory to which the pointer points will be released by the SDK after the callback. Copy them if you need to keep the data.

Value range:

None

Default value:

None

callback_data

void *

Yes

Explanation:

Pointer to the custom callback data.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

None

Default value:

None

Table 4 obs_bucket_public_status

Parameter

Type

Description

is_public

bool

Explanation:

Whether the bucket is public.

Restrictions:

None

Value range:

  • true: public
  • false: non-public

Default value:

false
