💖 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl_file — from the gnutls manual, bestie 💖

okay so this is a page from the gnutls manual (you know, the TLS library that just works), and it's all about the iconic little function gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl_file. buckle up, it's giving certificate energy ✨

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl_file — API function 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int
gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl_file(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t
res, const char * crlfile, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_certificate_credentials_t res — this is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type, no cap. it's the credentials thing you're loading stuff into 🫶
  • const char * crlfile — a file that's holding the list of verified CRLs (that's a DER or PEM list, iykyk) 📄
  • gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type — is it PEM or is it DER? that's the whole question, bestie 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what this function does is it adds the trusted CRLs so you can verify client or server certificates. very main character behaviour honestly.

in the case of a client, you don't actually have to call this if the certificates aren't being verified using gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(). so like, chill, it's optional in that situation 💜

also, you can call this function multiple times. she's flexible. she doesn't mind. 🔥

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

you get back the number of CRLs processed, or a negative error code if something went wrong. that's it, that's the vibe check 😭
