---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

gnutls_credentials_type_t gnutls_auth_get_type(gnutls_session_t
session);

like, that's the whole vibe. one function, one arg, one return type 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• gnutls_session_t session — bestie this is a gnutls_session_t type. that's it. that's the arg. it's giving "I just need the session and I'll tell you everything" 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it do. it returns the type of credentials for the current authentication schema. that returned info is literally there so you can figure out which function you're supposed to use to access the authentication data. no cap. 🔥

eg. for CERTIFICATE ciphersuites — that's key exchange algorithms GNUTLS_KX_RSA and GNUTLS_KX_DHE_RSA — the same function is what you use to access the authentication data. iconic behavior honestly.

⚠️ note note note: on resumed sessions, this function returns the schema used in the original session authentication. not the resumed one. the original one. periodt 💀

---

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

the type of credentials for the current authentication schema — a gnutls_credentials_type_t type. that's your answer, that's the whole gift 🎁
