💖 gnutls_ext_get_name(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the gnutls manual — section 3, library functions, the good stuff ✨ — and it's genuinely one of the easiest little glow-ups in the whole TLS toolbox. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_ext_get_name — the API function that turns a mystery number into a cute lil string 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

const char * gnutls_ext_get_name(unsigned int ext);

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. she's simple, she's iconic, she serves 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • unsigned int ext — this is a TLS extension numeric ID, bestie. a number. just a number. raw, unglamorous, unidentified. we're about to give it a name 🔥

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Convert a TLS extension numeric ID to a printable string. that's the whole vibe. you hand her a number, she hands you back the name. it's giving translator, it's giving glow-up arc, it's giving "let me introduce you to my friend" 🫶

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

a pointer to a string that contains the name of the specified cipher, or NULL.

⚠️ bestie, listen — NULL is a real possible answer here. always vibe check your return value before you go dereferencing it, fr fr. no strlen()-ing a NULL, we don't do that in this house 😭
