✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_certificate_set_x509_system_trust — bestie, it's an API function, and it's here to load up your system's trusted CAs 💖

This one lives in the gnutls manual (yes, that gnutls, the TLS library of the people) 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int
gnutls_certificate_set_x509_system_trust(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t
cred);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_certificate_credentials_t cred — okay so this is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type, that's literally it, that's the whole vibe 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So the way this works: this function adds the system's default trusted CAs, and it does that specifically so you can verify client or server certificates. Like, that's the whole point. Trust anchor collection time ✨

And if the system you're on is currently unsupported? Then GNUTLS_E_UNIMPLEMENTED_FEATURE gets returned. Not me getting rejected by the OS 😭💀

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

It gives you back the number of certificates processed 🎉 — or a negative error code if something went wrong. Negative = bad vibes, positive number = slay.

🎀 SINCE 🎀

3.0.20 — been iconic since 3.0.20, no cap 🫶
