gnutls_ext_get_current_msg(3)

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_ext_get_current_msg — an API function, bestie 💖 (yes it's a whole function, and it's part of the gnutls manual, in case you were wondering who was texting you at 2am)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

unsigned gnutls_ext_get_current_msg(gnutls_session_t session);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gnutls_session_t session — a gnutls_session_t opaque pointer. that's it, that's the whole argument, she's mysterious, you don't get to peek inside her 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so picture this: you're an extension handler, right? living your life, doing handler things, and suddenly you're like… wait. which message am i even being called from?? 😭 and that's exactly what this function is here for.

It lets an extension handler obtain the message this extension is being called from. slay. 💅

The returned value is a single entry of the gnutls_ext_flags_t enumeration — not a pile of them, not a combo, one (1) entry, periodt. ✨

Example so it hits: if an extension was registered with the GNUTLS_EXT_FLAG_HRR and GNUTLS_EXT_FLAG_EE flags, the value when called during parsing of the encrypted extensions message will be GNUTLS_EXT_FLAG_EE. see how it zeroes in on the one relevant flag? main character energy, honestly 👑

⚠️ And now the important bit: if not called under an extension handler, its value is undefined. undefined!! we do not know what she's gonna say. no cap. do not build your whole personality around that return value outside of a handler, bestie 💀

🦋 SINCE 🦋

3.6.3 — she's been iconic since 3.6.3, lowkey an elder stateswoman of the API 🌈
