gnutls_get_system_config_file(3)

✨ gnutls_get_system_config_file β€” the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual, section 3. today's main character is gnutls_get_system_config_file, an API function. yes it's a tiny one. no we are not skipping anything. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

gnutls_get_system_config_file β€” API function πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, the whole vibe in two lines:

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

const char * gnutls_get_system_config_file( void);

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • void β€” literally nothing. no args. she takes zero input and she's thriving πŸ’–

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does she DO. she returns the filename of the system wide configuration file β€” the one the library is gonna load. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? iconic. not every function needs a 40-page backstory 🌈


⭐ RETURNS ⭐

a constant pointer to the config file path ✨

heads up: it's a constant pointer, so don't you dare try to free it or scribble on it. it's giving read-only. respect the boundary 🫢

πŸ‘‘ SINCE πŸ‘‘

3.6.9 β€” so if you're on anything older, no she's not there, sorry babe 😭
