💅 X509_NAME_GET0_DER — get X509_NAME DER encoding

okay so bestie, welcome to X509_NAME_GET0_DER(3ossl) ✨ this is the page for a lil OpenSSL function that hands you the DER encoding of an X509_NAME — no copying, no drama, just vibes and a pointer 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <openssl/x509.h>

int X509_NAME_get0_der(const X509_NAME *nm, const unsigned char **pder,
                       size_t *pderlen);

like yes, that's the whole signature, she's not complicated 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so X509_NAME_get0_der() gives you an internal pointer to the encoding of an X509_NAME structure, dropped into *pder, and that encoding is *pderlen bytes long 💖

it is useful for applications that wish to examine the encoding of an X509_NAME structure without copying it — that's the whole point, she's the "look but don't touch, and definitely don't duplicate" girlie 🦋

ngl, internal pointer means internal pointer — you're peeking at OpenSSL's own data, not getting your own lil souvenir copy 👀

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

  • 1 — success, she ate 💅
  • 0 — an error occurred 😭
