💖 gnutls_certificate_type_get_name(3) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're doing a lil tour of the gnutls manual — this one lives in section 3 of the gnutls manual and it's literally the glow-up translator for certificate types. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_certificate_type_get_name — it's an API function, and it's here to turn your cryptic certificate-type enum into actual human-readable text 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

const char * gnutls_certificate_type_get_name(gnutls_certificate_type_t
type);

like yes, that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, one argument. slay.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gnutls_certificate_type_t type — bestie, this is a certificate type. that's it. that's the assignment. hand it over and we'll tell you its name. 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Convert a gnutls_certificate_type_t type to a string. literally that's the whole job. you give it the type, it gives you back a string. it's giving translator, it's giving dictionary, it's giving main character energy for enum values. ✨

🎀 RETURNS 🎀

a string that contains the name of the specified certificate type, or NULL in case of unknown types. 😭

so if you pass it something it doesn't recognize, you get NULL back. check for that, okay? don't be out here dereferencing NULL and then acting surprised. we don't do that. 💀
