gnutls_digest_set_secure(3)

πŸ’… gnutls_digest_set_secure β€” the glow-up page

okay bestie, we're diving into the gnutls manual and this one is literally a little function with main character energy. it's giving "quietly changing global settings" vibes, iykyk ✨


✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_digest_set_secure β€” API function πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_digest_set_secure(gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig, unsigned int
secure);

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig β€” bestie, this is a digest algorithm πŸ‘‘
  • unsigned int secure β€” whether we're marking that digest algorithm as secure or not πŸ’…

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so here's the tea β˜•: this function modifies the previous system-wide setting that marked dig as secure or insecure. it's a little edit, a little touch-up, a little "not me changing the whole system's mind" moment πŸ™ˆ

but wait β€” there's a catch, and it's important. this only has effect when:

  • the algorithm is enabled through the allowlisting mode in the configuration file, or
  • the setting was modified with a prior call to this same function

so like, it's not out here overriding everything with reckless abandon. it's more of a "when the vibes are already set up for it" situation ✨


⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.7.3 β€” she's been around since then, and she ate πŸ’…
