✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_cipher_get_block_size — the API function that tells you how big a cipher's block is, bestie 💖

It lives in the gnutls manual, and it's here to answer exactly one question: how many bytes in a block, queen?

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

unsigned gnutls_cipher_get_block_size(gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t
algorithm);

Like, that's it. One function, one argument, one unsigned coming back at you. Simple. Elegant. Iconic. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t algorithm — bestie, this is an encryption algorithm. That's the whole vibe. You hand it a cipher algorithm and it does its little lookup thing. No cap. 🦋

💫 RETURNS 💫

the block size of the encryption algorithm. fr fr, that's the return value — the block size, in all its numeric glory. 🫶

⭐ SINCE ⭐

2.10.0 — so this one's been around since way before you were on this app, it's giving vintage but make it stable. 💅
