💖 gnutls_ecc_curve_get_oid — the glow-up from curve to OID 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're doing the gnutls manual (yes, that gnutls, the whole TLS library) and today's main character is this lil function right here. it's an API function, it's adorable, it's useful, let's go 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

const char * gnutls_ecc_curve_get_oid(gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve);

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one include, one function, zero drama 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve — bestie this is an ECC curve. that's the whole thing, it's an ECC curve, hand it over and we'll do stuff with it 🌸

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so what does this icon actually do? it converts a gnutls_ecc_curve_t value into its object identifier. that's it. curve in, OID out. it's giving translator, it's giving matchmaker, it's giving "I know a guy who knows a guy" 😭

no cap, that's the entire job description.

🔥 RETURNS 🔥

you get back a string that contains the OID of the curve you specified. and if there's no OID to be found? you get NULL. that's it, that's the tea ☕

ngl bestie, check for that NULL, because a NULL string is not gonna be your friend in a printf situation. just saying 🙈

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.4.3 — so this one's been around a minute. vintage. classic. timeless. lowkey iconic 👑
