✨ gnutls_cipher_suite_info ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, section 3 🎀 this one's called gnutls_cipher_suite_info and it's literally an API function, no cap.

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

gnutls_cipher_suite_info — API function 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

const char * gnutls_cipher_suite_info(size_t idx, unsigned char * cs_id,
gnutls_kx_algorithm_t * kx, gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t * cipher,
gnutls_mac_algorithm_t * mac, gnutls_protocol_t * min_version);

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• size_t idx — the index of the cipher suite you wanna get info about. starts at 0, like a real one 🙈
• unsigned char * cs_id — output buffer that needs room for 2 bytes, and it holds the cipher suite value ✨
• gnutls_kx_algorithm_t * kx — output variable telling you the key exchange algorithm, or NULL.
• gnutls_cipher_algorithm_t * cipher — output variable telling you the cipher, or NULL.
• gnutls_mac_algorithm_t * mac — output variable telling you the MAC algorithm, or NULL.
• gnutls_protocol_t * min_version — output variable telling you the TLS protocol version, or NULL.

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so basically you're getting info about the supported cipher suites. the move is to call this function iteratively to get info about all the supported cipher suites, one by one 🫶

call it with idx=0 to get the first cipher suite, then idx=1, and so on and so on… until the function hands you back NULL and you know you're done. it's giving scrolling through a playlist until it runs out fr fr 💀

---

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

it gives you the name of the idx cipher suite, and it sets all the info about that cipher suite in the output variables 💖 if idx is out of bounds, you get NULL. periodt.
