💖 gnutls_db_set_cache_expiration(3) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're reading a gnutls manpage together and honestly? this one's short and sweet, we love a low-commitment queen. the manual name is gnutls, and this lil function is gnutls_db_set_cache_expiration. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_db_set_cache_expiration — it's an API function, bestie 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void gnutls_db_set_cache_expiration(gnutls_session_t session, int
seconds);

look at her. returns void. she gives nothing back and she's not sorry 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_session_t session — this is a gnutls_session_t type. that's the whole description, she's mysterious like that 🙈
  • int seconds — the number of seconds. yeah. it's seconds. we love a self-explanatory name fr fr

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does this actually DO? it sets the expiration time for resumed sessions. that's it, that's the job ✨

the default is 21600 seconds — that's 6 hours — at the time of writing. yes, "at the time of writing," they're keeping it humble, iconic honestly.

and the maximum value you can set with this function is 604800 seconds, which is 7 days. so don't come in here trying to set it to a whole month, she will NOT allow it, no cap 💀

fr fr: 21600 default, 604800 max. write that down bestie 🍓
