gnutls_certificate_set_x509_trust_file(gnutls_certificate_credentials_t

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_certificate_credentials_t cred — this is literally just a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t type. that's the vibe, that's the whole thing 🌸
• const char * cafile — a file holding the list of trusted CAs. it can be a DER or PEM list. slay 🦋
• gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t type — is it PEM or DER? that's it, that's the question 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This function adds the trusted CAs, and the reason we're doing that is so we can verify client or server certificates. periodt.

In case of a client: you are not required to call this if the certificates aren't being verified using gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2(). and listen — this function may be called multiple times. yes bestie, you can stack it, it's giving ✨layers✨

In case of a server: the names of the CAs you set here get sent to the client if a certificate request is sent. and if you're like "ma'am I did not ask for that," you can disable it with gnutls_certificate_send_x509_rdn_sequence(). iconic opt-out 🎀

okay and here's the fun part — this function can also accept URLs 👑 In that case it will import all certificates that are marked as trusted. and ngl, the supported URLs are the ones indicated by gnutls_url_is_supported(). iykyk 💅

🔥 RETURNS 🔥
