✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_alert_get_name — bestie, it's an API function 💖 (yes, that's the whole name, and yes, it's iconic)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so first you gotta pull in the header, like always:

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

const char * gnutls_alert_get_name(gnutls_alert_description_t alert);

That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🦋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_alert_description_t alert — this is an alert number. just a number. a lil guy. a little integer that secretly means something in TLS land 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this function? it takes that alert number and hands you back a string that describes it. that's the whole job. main character behavior, honestly 👑

but heads up — it can also return NULL. so like, if the number doesn't map to anything, you get NULL and not a cute string. plan accordingly, bestie 🙈

also, if you wanna know more, go look at gnutls_alert_get(). it's giving complementary info. iykyk ✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

a string corresponding to the gnutls_alert_description_t value. (or NULL — don't forget the NULL, we literally just talked about it 😭)
