gnutls_ext_set_data(3)

💖 gnutls_ext_set_data — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the gnutls manual (yes, the whole manual name is just gnutls, we're keeping it cute). Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_ext_set_data — the API function that lets you stash your lil private data on a session 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

void gnutls_ext_set_data(gnutls_session_t session, unsigned tls_id,
       gnutls_ext_priv_data_t data);

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• gnutls_session_t session — a gnutls_session_t opaque pointer. yeah it's opaque, we don't peek behind the curtain, we just pass it around 💅
• unsigned tls_id — the numeric id of the extension. the digits, the numbers, the identity of your extension fr fr 🔢
• gnutls_ext_priv_data_t data — the private data to set. your lil bundle of secrets, your emotional support payload 🎁

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the vibe: this function lets an extension handler store data in the current session and then retrieve it later on. that's it, that's the whole thing. it's giving "leave a note for future you" energy 💌

and listen — the data you set here will be deallocated using the gnutls_ext_deinit_data_func. so it's not just your data, it's the deinit function's data now. no cap, that's how the cleanup works 🧹✨

---

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.4.0 — she's been here since 3.4.0, an icon, a legend, a moment in history 👑
