💖 gnutls_certificate_free_cas(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the gnutls manual, and honestly? this one is a little bit of a jump scare, so buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_certificate_free_cas — it's an API function, that's the whole vibe 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void gnutls_certificate_free_cas(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t sc);

look at that. two lines. iconic. no cap 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • gnutls_certificate_credentials_t sc — bestie, this is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type. that's literally it. that's the whole description. the docs said what they said 😭

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕ and you're gonna want to sit down for this one.

this function used to actually do something back on very early versions of gnutls. like, ancient era. it was operational, it was out there living its main character life.

but then the internals got refactored (as they do 🙈) and, lowkey, this thing was hardly ever used by anyone. so the gnutls girlies did what had to be done and now it's currently a no-op.

no-op means calling it does nothing. zero. zilch. you can call it and the universe will simply not react. it's giving ghosting but make it C 💀

so yeah. it still exists, the signature is still there, your code will still compile, but bestie... it's not doing anything for you. it's decorative. it's a vibe. periodt. ✨

✨ REPORTING BUGS ✨

found something cursed? tell the gnutls people, they wanna know 🫶
