okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual section 3, and today's main character is gnutls_aead_cipher_set_key ✨ like yes, we're doing crypto and we're doing it cute 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_aead_cipher_set_key — it's an API function, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

int gnutls_aead_cipher_set_key(gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t handle, const
                               gnutls_datum_t * key);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t handle — bestie this is literally a gnutls_aead_cipher_hd_t type. that's the whole vibe of it 💜
  • const gnutls_datum_t * key — the key you're gonna use for encryption 🔥 the secret sauce, the moment, the whole point.

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so the way this works: this function sets a new key without re-initializing the context. that's it. that's the tea ☕ you keep your handle, you swap out the key, no fresh start needed. lowkey elegant, highkey useful 🌈

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

zero on success, or a negative error code if something went wrong 😭 (not me checking return values, always check your return values bestie)
