gnutls_ecc_curve_get_pk(3)

💖 gnutls_ecc_curve_get_pk(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual — section 3, the library functions girlies — and it's literally the cutest little lookup ever. you hand it an ECC curve, it hands you back the public key algorithm that goes with it. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_ecc_curve_get_pk — the API function that does the curve ➡️ pk-algorithm glow-up 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

gnutls_pk_algorithm_t gnutls_ecc_curve_get_pk(gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve);

like yes, she's a one-liner. iconic behavior honestly.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_ecc_curve_t curve — bestie this is an ECC curve. that's it. that's the argument. she's not complicated, she just wants a curve. 💜

---

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

she gives you back the public key algorithm associated with the named curve, or — and listen, this is the important part — GNUTLS_PK_UNKNOWN if she doesn't know it. so if you get GNUTLS_PK_UNKNOWN, that's not a bug, that's her telling you "no thoughts, head empty, unknown curve." no cap. 😭

---

🌈 SINCE 🌈

3.5.0 — she's been here since 3.5.0, a true veteran of the game, lowkey a legend. 👑

---

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈

found a bug? not me gatekeeping that, go tell the girlies:

• Report bugs to <bugs@gnutls.org>.
• Home page: https://www.gnutls.org

fr fr, they wanna hear about it. don't just suffer in silence in your group chat. 🫶

like, the whole Texinfo manual is right there, go read it, it's giving ✨comprehensive✨.

okay that's the whole page bestie, hope your curves always resolve to something other than GNUTLS_PK_UNKNOWN 🍓

this lil rewrite is serving you from the gnutls manual, version 3.8.13, dated gnutls_ecc_curve_get_pk(3) — mwah, take care of her 💖✨🎀
