💖 gnutls_certificate_set_params_function — from the gnutls manual 💖

okay bestie, buckle up, we're reading a manpage together and honestly? this one is a little vintage. it's giving "old money API" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_certificate_set_params_function — it's an API function, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void
gnutls_certificate_set_params_function(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t
res, gnutls_params_function * func);

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res — bestie this is literally just a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type, that's the whole vibe 🌸
  • gnutls_params_function * func — the function that's gonna get called 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what this does is it sets a callback, right? like, it hooks up a lil function so the server can go get the Diffie-Hellman or RSA parameters it needs for certificate authentication 🔥

and the callback? it should return GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (that's 0) on success. no cap, that's the whole deal ✨

✨ DEPRECATED ✨

💀 okay so this is the part where i have to be real with you: this function is unnecessary and discouraged on GnuTLS 3.6.0 or later. not me delivering bad news 😭

since 3.6.0, DH parameters are negotiated following RFC7919, so you genuinely don't need to be out here doing this manually. the glow-up already happened, babe 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was gnutls version 3.8.13 doing its thing 💜 stay safe, negotiate your parameters responsibly, and remember: if it's post-3.6.0 you probably don't need this function at all 🎀✨🦋
