💖 gnutls_digest_get_id(3) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the gnutls manual, and it's literally just one tiny little function that turns a name into a number. short and sweet, but we're gonna give it the main character treatment anyway ✨

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_digest_get_id — it's an API function, and it's giving "glorified lookup table" in the best possible way 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

gnutls_digest_algorithm_t gnutls_digest_get_id(const char * name);

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one include, one call, one return value 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • const char * name — this is a digest algorithm name, so it's the string you're handing over to get looked up. the good stuff, the actual label you wanna convert 🔍

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it DO? it converts a string into a gnutls_digest_algorithm_t value. that's the whole thing. string in, digest algorithm enum out, no cap 💖

and the little detail that matters: the names are compared in a case insensitive way. so like, don't stress about your capitalization bestie, it literally does not care. SHA256, sha256, ShA256 — all the same to it, periodt ✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

you get back a gnutls_digest_algorithm_t id of the specified MAC algorithm string. and if it doesn't recognize what you gave it? you get GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN on failure 😭 no exceptions, no drama, just a polite little "idk her" constant.

ngl if you see GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN coming back, that means the lookup failed — so check your spelling before you spiral 🙈
